It is a technical issue so we didn\u2019t place timelines, and we are hoping that the technical people will do their jobs as soon as possible so that we get past this whole thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The situation is expected to take a serious toll on consumers who would have to wait for the companies to resume before they can refill their cylinders.<\/p>\n<p>Restaurants, bakeries and other businesses that rely on gas are also likely to be negatively affected by the development.<\/p>\n<p>Some have accused the LPG Marketers of undertaking the move against the government due to the latter\u2019s plans to reintroduce the gas re-circulation program, and also close down high-risk fuel stations.<\/p>\n<p>But Mr.Owiredu told Richard Sky on<strong> Eyewitness News<\/strong> that, \u201cwe are not undertaking this exercise to fight the government or our way of resenting to whatever directive might have come from the government. We believe that public safety is supreme and important, and as much as we know that those who patronize our gas will face some difficulty in accessing gas, their safety is also very important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that, although some gas stations are yet to implement the decision, the Association is optimistic that by noon on Thursday, the companies would have fully complied.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cylinder re-circulation\u00a0program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The government&#8217;s decision\u00a0to introduce the cylinder re-circulation\u00a0program, comes after a gas explosion at Atomic junction in Accra, that killed at least 7 people and\u00a0injured over 130 others.<\/p>\n<p>Following the incident, President Akufo-Addo as part of a 9-point cabinet decision directed stakeholders to implement the cylinder\u00a0re-circulation program within a\u00a0year.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the program, consumers\u00a0will buy cylinder bottles already filled with gas and will not need to refill themselves at designated stations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Jonas Nyabor\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The LPG Marketing Companies Association of Ghana, has said that their decision to suspend the sale of LPG product to consumers is indefinite.
