Motorists in Kalomo have complained of constant fuel shortages at the only filling station in the town.
The shortage of fuel has affected operations of several government and parastatal
departments that opened accounts with the station.
The Zambezi Oil Transport, ZOT, filling station started experiencing fuel shortages
a fortnight ago.
The filling station is currently holding petrol with diesel propelled vehicles
having problems to acquire the commodity.
Illegal fuel vendors have taken advantage of the situation and are now selling 20
litres of diesel at K110,000.00.
ZOT sources said fuel procurement to supply the filling station were done in Ndola
and are awaiting stocks but motorists have accused the station of having failed to
satisfy customers needs.
