A citizens' group claims that top people near the president create fuel shortages by blocking payments to suppliers. Malawi owes $72 million for fuel, way above its credit limit, which stops trucks from delivering gas. Long lines form at pumps everywhere as cars run dry. Some companies have fuel ready, but can't send it because money rules block them. These issues started years ago.
The group wants officials to check the money spent at the fuel company NOCMA since 2018. They want updates about government fuel deals, or the energy minister should quit his job. President Chakwera must end his special fuel teams since NOCMA already handles buying. People should push for lower prices since Dubai deals cost much less than current rates. The current supplier charges almost three times what others would.
The group threatens peaceful protests if the government ignores their demands. They warn against bringing back an old supplier called Gulf Energy. Recent deals from Dubai offer much better prices compared to what nearby countries pay. Current suppliers charge $175 per metric ton through special orders. Gulf Energy charges even more at $195 for gas.
