No Looming Fuel shortage in Zambia: Supply only affected some retail facilities

False

A press statement issued by the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) through the Acting Public Relations Manager, Chibulu Musonda, ERB refuted reports circulating on social media, assuring the public that Zambia has sufficient diesel stocks and is addressing logistical challenges affecting petrol imports. The ERB directed Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to prioritize timely petrol deliveries to affected sites. Meanwhile, in collaboration with the Road Traffic and Safety Agency (RTSA), the ERB temporarily extended operating hours for fuel tankers beyond 18:00, easing movement restrictions to expedite deliveries.
