They think it is an entitlement. If their party is in power, their regional chairmen and the constituencies Chairmen jump inside \u2026.they think it is their right.  The cure has not been found because there is political manipulation. They talk about the need to stop but capture the initiative, capture the infrastructure and use it. It happened, yesterday, it is happening today and will happen in the future. There is too much money in it. Once the party is in power they jump into it\u2026.it is like galamsey\u201d, he disclosed on Peace Fm.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, there are better structures in place but the corruption in the sale of premix fuel is not allowing the systems to work efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like galamsey now. Party activists are involved, civil servants are involved\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chairman of the National Pre-mix Fuel Committee Nii Lantey Bannerman has stated categorically that his hands are clean as far as the diversion of premix fuel intended for fishermen in the country is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that he had neither connived with Oil Marketing Companies nor Landing Beach executives to divert pre-mix fuel since he was appointed.<\/p>\n<p>His comment follows complaints by the National Petroleum Authority(NPA) about massive diversions of pre-mix fuel loaded from the Tema Oil Refinery, leaving fishermen who are supposed to receive the fuel stranded.<\/p>\n<p>Per the NPA\u2019s numerous letters written to the National Premix Committee since the beginning of 2017, it has been established that about 200 premix fuel consignments loaded from the Tema Oil Refinery, were not delivered to the intended destinations indicated on the invoices and returns of the OMCs.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Monday, 11 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-11 Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Veteran journalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has observed the country\u2019s two largest political parties-the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are all guilty of premix fuel diversions.
