The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC), is raising concerns about the strain the\u00a0Cylinder Re-circulation Model of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution may put on poor Ghanaians.<\/p>\n
The Chamber’s Executive Director, Duncan Amoah, noted the inflexibility of the programme on The Big Issue<\/strong>\u00a0and suggested the old system of distribution be employed alongside the new module ordered by President Nana Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”rciyctDoPrqXm2mT8kKYWQX2SAsThE6x”]The new module,\u00a0proposed by<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0National Petroleum Authority (NPA), means that LPG Bottling Plants will be sited away from highly populated areas and commercial centers.<\/p>\n These plants will procure, brand, maintain and fill empty cylinders to be distributed to consumers and households through retail outlets and stations, deemed to be low risk, after a government assessment.<\/p>\n
