The minister emphasized the importance of an active presence
by all regulatory agencies at fuel stations and butane gas depots. He stressed
the need for accurate inventories of available petroleum products. Regular
availability must be ensured, and any obstacles that could disrupt services to
citizens must be removed.
Dr. Farouk noted that the ministry monitors in real time how
stations and depots adhere to the set prices. He confirmed that strict legal
measures will be taken against any violations or monopolistic practices. These
steps aim to maintain market stability and ensure the normal supply of
petroleum products to citizens.
The minister highlighted the need for continued coordination
with the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and all relevant
authorities. This ensures smooth circulation of petroleum products and
monitoring around the clock.
Dr. Farouk concluded by affirming that no manipulation or
attempts to create crises in the fuel market will be tolerated. Supply
inspection teams are present in the field throughout the day. They act
decisively and swiftly against any violations to protect citizens’ rights and
maintain market stability.
