This procedure takes about seven days.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kaguo noted that such dealers have been creating panic to the consumers, who have been rushing to buy large amounts of fuel and reserve in fear that there could be a scarcity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: BERNARD LUGONGO AfricaPress-Tanzania: IMPORTATION of fuel for August will rise by 52 per cent for petrol and 30.9 per cent for diesel as compared to a month of July, following the resumption of economic activities that were paralysed due to Covid-19.
