The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) is going after the directors and shareholders of some 45 Oil Marketing Companies (OMC) over debts running into more than \u20b5400 million.<\/p>\n

These are margins and other levies that have been collected by the OMCs since last year, but they have failed to pay the monies to the NPA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A total of \u00a268 million cedis out of the debt is coming from the Primary Distribution Margin Fund.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Joy Business is learning that these monies are paid by consumers at the pumps which are supposedly to be repaid to the regulator at the end of every operational month.<\/p>\n

Proposed actions by\u00a0NPA<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NPA has maintained that these companies have up until the end of September 2022 to settle these debts.<\/p>\n

The authority warns that failure to settle these debts, will result in the publishing of names of the directors and shareholders of these companies in the national dailies.<\/p>\n

It has also indicated that it will not hesitate to take the necessary legal against the directors of these firms as an additional action.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Joy Business has gathered that licenses of some of the companies have been withdrawn and stopped from loading oil in the country.<\/p>\n

They were given some timelines, but did not go by this initial plan.<\/p>\n
