LPG operators in Ghana have announced that the planned maintenance work of their retail outlets has been postponed with immediate effect.

The latest decision according to the marketers is to ensure a continuous supply of liquefied petroleum gas.

The decision was arrived at after an emergency meeting between OMCs, Ghana Liquefied Petroleum Gas Operators and the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketing Companies on Thursday, October 19, 2017.

LPG marketers have closed their premises to the public for the past two days, citing maintenance works at the outlets to ensure compliance and safety among the members. The exercise has been met with stiff opposition from the public.

But in a statement signed by the CEO of the Association of Oil Marketing Companies, Kwaku Agyemang- Duah, however, expressed the groups’ disapproval of the regulators’ mode of discharging their statutory responsibilities which they say has resulted in unyielding distress.
