Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Energy Regulation Board (ERB) has suspended retailing of petroleum products at Karan Meanwood Service Station in Chongwe District. This follows suspected water contamination of petroleum products at the service station.<\/p>\n

ERB Public Relations Manager, Namukolo Kasumpa has disclosed that the Board has since instituted investigation following complaints from customers who refueled from the retail site between 15th and 25th February 2023<\/p>\n

Ms Kasumpa says the Board has directed the immediate suspension of all retailing of petroleum products at the site in question as the matter under investigation relates to the quality of products being sold to the public.<\/p>\n

She explained that the directive has been made pursuant to section 4 of the Energy Regulation Act No. 12 of 2019, which mandates ERB to close any energy facility which poses safety and health concerns to the general public.<\/p>\n

Ms Kasumpa added that ERB is expeditiously and diligently reviewing the investigation findings to establish the exact cause of the incidents in order to take appropriate action in line with the applicable licence conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be emphasised that if the licensee is found wanting, appropriate enforcement action would be taken as per the ERB enforcement manual,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Kasumpa also reiterated ERB\u2019s commitment to protecting consumers and ensuring that only quality energy products and services are sold to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers play an important role in raising alarm on product quality concerns, and members of the public are encouraged to contact the ERB on the Toll-Free line No. 8484 whenever they are in doubt about the quality of petroleum products sold to them,\u201d she said. This is contained in a statement issued to the media in Lusaka yesterday by Ms Kasumpa<\/p>\n
