Dar es Salaam —
Retail price for petrol has gone up a week before the official
announcement without
any official public communication from the
regulatory authority.
The petrol price
increased from Sh1,693 per litre announced on the first of July to a
maximum of Sh1,837 in some petrol stations while that of diesel and
kerosene remained unchanged.
A survey conducted
by The Citizen in the commercial capital also established that some
other petrol stations were still selling within the limit with others
not selling at all.
Fuel prices are
governed by rules of demand and supply but the Energy and Water
Utilities Regulatory Authority (Ewura) usually publishes cap prices on
every first Wednesday of the Month.
The regulator could
not immediately comment on the move but the association of fuel traders
confirmed the increase which it said aimed at recovering some extra
costs due to delayed offloading at the port.
