Of late, many drivers and other motor vehicles users have complained about the rising cost of fuel which affects daily economic activities. Last night, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, a broadcast journalist with Angel FM and a team visited a Goil fuel station located at Atimpoku, suspected of tampering with their fuel pumps.
They went with a device used to measure the accuracy of liters of fuel dispensed. They asked the attendant to dispense 10 liters of fuel into the measuring device. After dispensing, the fuel pump showed 10 liters on the screen but on the measuring device, the actual amount of fuel was less than half of the 10 liters displayed.
Okatakyie became very angry at the discovery, stating that means customers are seriously being cheated. “look at the amount of stealing these people are doing? Meaning even if you buy Ghc1,000 you actually get less than Ghc500 worth of fuel.”
One of the workers there who attempted making some excuses further infuriated Okatakyie who warned him saying “if you don’t stop that nonsense, I will slap you.” The crowd which had gathered there were surprised to see the level of cheating that was going on there. Watch the video below
Tampering with pumps at various fuel stations has become very common these despite the astronomical rise in fuel prices. Recently, there were reports of similar discovery made at various stations in Accra.
