H.E Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of the Republic, on September 5, 2023, commissioned an Automated Premix Fuel Dispensing and Monitoring System at Elmina, in the Central Region.
This novel initiative promises to eliminate corruption, diversion, and other bottlenecks associated with the reliable supply and distribution of premix fuel. This ushers in an era of efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
“With the launch of this system, fisherfolk can now directly access the quantity of premix fuel they require at the pumps, using their personalized Canoe Identification Cards containing their bio-and other data and linked to their vessels, instead of relying on middlemen and other interlocutors for supplies”, Dr. Bawumia said.
He added that, with accurate and transparent tracking, the Automated Premix Fuel Dispensing and Monitoring System guarantees that, premix fuel is delivered to its intended recipients quickly, leveling the playing field for all stakeholders.
Dr. Bawumia further stated that, “Through real-time monitoring of fuel levels and transactions, we shall foster an environment of trust and integrity, wherein suppliers and consumers can partake in a fair and just system”.
