They have workers at their various filling stations so it\u2019s like they are taking the contract from them and giving it to a particular person,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n<p>He was of the view that government can rather start a pragmatic measure by extending gas pipeline to all households with meters like it is done in developed countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it must be done then it must be done well. If you travel to European countries, you see that the government provides gas to them in their house and they pay. Instead of doing this house to house, we can plan something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile checks by Citi Business News revealed that the NPA and the Ministry of Petroleum engaged major stakeholders in the industry since 2013 to enhance safety in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>All efforts made by Citi Business News to reach the NPA so far have proved futile.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p>By: Lawrence Segbefia\/citibusinessnews.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana National Petroleum Drivers Union has told Citi Business News it will resist any attempt by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to ban domestic gas users from filling their cylinders at the pumps.
