Zambia has sufficient stock of petrol because both TAZAMA and INDENI are operating normally.
Energy Permanent Secretary, George Zulu says the country has now attained sufficient stocks of petrol and there should not be any shortages of the commodity.
Mr Zulu says Indeni has one million litres of petrol which is normal supply for the country.
He told znbc news from Chipata that if there are filling stations running short of petrol its because the oil marketing firms have not picked petrol from Indeni.
Puma filling station in Woodlands Lusaka this morning run out of petrol.
Officials at the filling station told znbc that the commodity run out last night at about 20:00 hours.
But the official who only disclosed his first name as Eugene said the station is expecting next stock later today but he could not state what time.
The country has been experiencing an erratic supply of petrol for the last two days.
This was due to a delayed shipment of crude oil tanker which was due to docked late in Tanzania.

Sorry sir, stop embarrassing yoself before you get fired there is a shortage country wide, stop politicing every time.
Shameless fool! Enough fuel when people are stuck in Choma, this is what causes unrest when a minister misinforms people when he is satisfied he thinks all Zambians have the food.
Are you listening you chps who were failing to buy fuel in Choma, Solwezi and everwhre in the country? You failed to buy yet there was ‘enough’ fuel inside the pumps.
Its a shame to have Govt officials telling lies just to calm the peolples minds. Say the truth you bootlickers. There is a shortage of fuel what one million litres when a feeling point just in woolands and in the capital city doesnt have fuel.I think you must be a mad ps report what is at hand not just to please the peolpe
WELL DONE BA MINISTER AND THE PF GOVT.PEOPLE SHOLD STOP BARKING ON THINGS THAT ARE NOT TRUE. THIS WAS JUST A CHEAP PROPAGANDA BY POWER HUNGRY H.H. AND THE FRASTRATED MMD FINISHED POLITICIANS. VIVA BA SATA VIVE PF. NEXT 25 YEARS OF PF GOVT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION.
Ths misinforming is as a result of somone speaking frm hs hom or office, jist because hs vehicle’s is full, he tells everyone “ALL IS FINE!”. Get out of ur office and see exactly wats on the ground then report come and report to us about not having a fuel shortage. Why cant you jst fix th problm instead of lying to us.
WHEN DID YOU OWN A CAR?
WE THE PEOPLE WITH CARS WE UNDERSTAND THIS THING . FUEL FUEL MWANOKO E’MLI SHORTAGE ?
FUNCTIONAL-ILLITERATES !
When will Zambia develop a homegrown energy alternative like ethanol,cellulosic biomass or biodiesel? UNZA & CBU whats your response as Zambia would save millions and also create local employment for workers and suppliers?
Sata is making horrible liars out of the Zulu’s!!!
The other one called a press conference to say stay of execution is an attack on the President.
What will this Zulu loose by saying the truth?? Him as Energy Permanent Secretary should know action( what you see) speaks louder than words. There are massive ques on service stations in KT. We used to que for BC, we que pa ATM now na fuel, worse mu shoprite?? will queuing ever end ??
