Fuel
issue to the development of the country
Around these 5 years the country of Burundi losing in
the terms of economy more than it was before added that it is placed among the first poorest countries in the World because of the issue of the fuel
in the country. Comparing to other countries in the East African Community,
Burundi is scoring in lack of fuel. Anyway, this lack of fuel should be
explained at a certain time by several facts as explained many times by the concerned.
In the former years, any vehicle was able to make full-tank at any time, at any
place but now it is not the case. You should found half-tank in the previous
days at least but now it none exists. Now the vehicles are kept at fuel
stations waiting for long time and they are pushed by force of men to leave the
place without getting getting fuel. SHAMEFUL!
Issue
resort
The issue of lacking fuel does not affect only one sector
but all sectors of activities of the country. Jobs are not executed as well,
schools are not attended as it would be, and goods are not exported or imported
in a good way. In few words, it becomes calamity in all area but the most
terrible is the famine in the country because the country now is affected by
famine due to this issue. A food from one province to another is now being done nowadays. Provided that all provinces of the country don’t get the same harvest
at the same level they could collaborate and exchange and famine should not affect the
country. Note that the more suffering one remains the ordinary people. Why do
government's vehicle not stop? The community they would serve is perishing.
Was this the same case before?
Before most of the fuel stations had the access and
authority to import the fuel at their capacity and according to the station
owner capital. This was so and the businessmen tried all their best and they
served the community as well. After pretending that the fuel stations are generating
the fuel in the bad condition, the fuel importation has been assigned to the be
controlled by the government. Moreover, it has been said that the tax of OBR
was not fulfilled by those businessmen. In the explanations given by the concerned,
they highlighted the lack of dollars that disturbs the trade system. Anyway,
this doesn’t have the solid explanation because they would give opportunity to
the businessmen and do the trade themselves by following OBR obligations.
Going deep, all the explanations given are not on the
favor of resolving the issue. In this issue, they don’t give the value on the
free market and this market is controlled by the committee and institutions of
the government. This issue will not be over till the government is limited and
give access to the business owner themselves. Recently, on 03/01/2024, the government
gathered together the Ministers and reorganizes the committee charged on
controlling the fuel market. Will this pass and resolve the problem? Wait and
see. Instead of being resolved, it increases. The only solution is access to an
open market by businessmen.
