Mr. Chalamila also said the issue of petroleum and diesel energy where he has doubted the citizens and residents of the region that until now there is no shortage of fuel even though there is a challenge of increasing the price of the product.
He has used the opportunity to ask politicians to stop using the issue of the increase in the price of oil politically because the issue is global due to the war that occurred and caused the increase in the price of oil on the World Market, the change in the cost of importing oil and the change in the value of the dollar while insisting that the Government under the President, Dr. Samia continues with strategies and has better fuel storage systems so that such a challenge becomes history.
