Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Petrol station owners in Juba have lowered fuel prices back to 2,000 pounds per a liter following a deal between Somali businessmen and the state-owned oil giant \u2013 NilePet.<\/p>\n

The Nile Petroleum Corporation and Somali Business and Financial Union, which owns 90 percent of petrol stations in the capital, agreed to reduce fuel prices for a week starting from Wednesday 6th of March.<\/p>\n

The decision to lower fuel prices was a response to the current inflation which has sharply increased the cost of transport and other commodities.<\/p>\n

NilePet Managing Director Bernard Amour Makeny said the one-week reduction could be subjected to a review within that timeframe.<\/p>\n

An Eye Radio assessment in several fuel stations along Munuki-Gudele road, and the Jebel Area this morning, observed that prices have been reduced in accordance with the decision.<\/p>\n

Some of the fuel station owners expressed their commitment to implement the agreed fuel price reduction in an interview with Eye Radio on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegarding the issue of fuel prices, actually we are already complying with the presidential order now the fuel we have produced.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now 2000 both petrol and diesel we implemented already. It\u2019s already like that in all our stations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were selling at a price of 2,180, but as of this morning, we have reduced it to 2000. This price adjustment has been mandated by the government in collaboration with the Somali business community.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, members of the public say transport fares are still high despite the reduction in fuel prices.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the economic bloc, headed by President Salva Kiir, held a meeting in which it decided to supply the country with enough fuel and sell it at a subsidized price to citizens in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

The bloc also agreed to import food supplies and sell them to citizens at a subsidized price.<\/p>\n

According to the government, these measures aim to improve the deteriorating economic situation and reduce the cost of living for citizens.<\/p>\n
