The original article informs us about the visit of the Minister of National Economy of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Vital Kamerhe, to Lubumbashi, in the province of Haut-Katanga. Accompanied by the Minister of Hydrocarbons, Didier Budimbu, their objective is to examine the demands of operators in the region’s oil sector. A fuel shortage is currently affecting the city of Lubumbashi, due to fiscal demands from oil operators.
The scarcity of fuel has led to a paralysis of the movement of people and goods in the country’s second city. To alleviate this situation, street sellers, locally called “Gaddafi”, took over by offering fuel at prices higher than those officially set at the pump.
In order to resolve this problem, a meeting of the technical price monitoring committee was organized, bringing together Ministers Kamerhe and Budimbu, as well as representatives of oil operators and the General Directorate of Customs and Excise (DGDA). The government mission is accompanied by experts and delegates from the Prime Minister’s Office of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This visit therefore aims to study the demands of oil operators and to find solutions to end the fuel shortage in the Haut-Katanga province.
This article reflects important news that impacts the population of Lubumbashi and highlights the importance of resolving problems related to the oil sector in this region rich in natural resources.
