The Petroleum Fund wishes to appeal to all Retailers to charge proper prices because it is illegal to charge prices that are different from the gazetted ones. This appeal comes from the past observations that some retailers have continued to charge prices that are above those set, and any retailer who will be found to be charging prices in contravention of these newly set prices, shall be prosecuted accordingly.
The public is further made aware that there is a toll free number to which any non-compliance can be reported and this number is 80022004.
