The Petroleum Regulatory Agency (PRA) has enforced its mandate to uphold industry standards by sealing the Conex Grafton Gas Station.
This action comes in response to significant violations of regulatory protocols and aims to ensure that petroleum operators prioritize public interest and adhere strictly to their licensing obligations.
In a post shared on social media, the PRA emphasized its commitment to deterring public exploitation and preventing fuel sales above regulated prices.
This decisive move reflects the agency’s broader strategy to foster a culture of compliance and accountability within the petroleum sector.
The Conex Grafton Gas Station’s license has been suspended, and the dealer faces a substantial fine of NLe50,000.
The PRA’s investigation revealed gross misconduct, including price gouging and other practices that undermine consumer trust and violate established industry standards.
The PRA reassures the public that it will continue to monitor and enforce compliance rigorously to protect consumers and maintain fair market conditions. Further actions and penalties will be imposed as necessary to ensure adherence to the rules governing petroleum sales.
