NON ADHERENCE TO FUEL PRICES REDUCTION Malawi Government has noted with regret, that following Fuel Permit Price Reduction on 3rd September 2014, some Fuel Service Stations are still selling at old prices. This is illegal as it contravenes Section 36 (1) of Liquid Fuels and Gas (Production and Supply) Act, and Section 30 of Energy Regulation Act, all which empower the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) to direct the adjustment of fuel prices. Government therefore calls on all Fuel Service Stations to adjust their pumps and sell fuel at the following prices as announced by MERA: Petrol MK796.20 per litre Diesel MK805.50 per litre Paraffin MK719.30 per litre Any Service Station contravening this directive will be closed forthwith and subsequent legal action will take its course in accordance with Section 2 of Liquid Fuels and Gas (Production and Supply) Act, which imposes a fine of MK50 million plus imprisonment to ten years. Government also requests members of the general public to report any Fuel Service Station that has not reduced prices as directed on the following numbers: 0 888 838 151, 01 774 103, 01 775 810 and 01 774 135.
