The Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana has called on the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to revoke the licenses of Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) implicated in selling diluted fuel, following a report by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

According to the Association, the contaminated fuel—originally intended for fishermen—was sold to commercial OMCs, leading to widespread engine damage and financial losses for drivers across the country.

At a press briefing, CDAG President Paa Willie explained that the sale of adulterated fuel has caused unexplained vehicle breakdowns, engine failures, and increased maintenance costs, severely affecting drivers’ livelihoods and disrupting transport services nationwide.

He urged the government to take decisive action against the offending companies, warning that the Association may organise demonstrations if the matter is not addressed.

“We demand that the NPA revoke the licenses of these OMCs for a period of one year to serve as a deterrent to others,” Paa Willie stated.

 

The Association emphasised its commitment to seeking justice for affected drivers and holding responsible parties accountable for the damage caused by the sale of contaminated fuel.
