Theft of fuel coupons worries Malawi Finance minister

“We know that the government fuel coupons are being put to wrong use,” said Gondwe.

Government drivers and other officials involved in fuel connive with fuel attendants in filling stations where the fuel coupons are sold and fuel not put in government vehicles, another form of common theft in government offices.

Gondwe said Capital Hill is aware of the common theft and has put in place measures to catch the thieves and put the malpractice to a stop.

“We will not stop the coupon system but we will catch those involved,” said Gondwe who described this as sensitive but the government will deal with the matter.

It is feared that ambulance and police vehicle drivers might be involved in the malpractice, rendering the public service down.

inspect the motor vehicle mileage to see if the amounts of fuel drawn by these drivers tally with the distance covered. a wononga ma odometer haha ha pa Malawi. Employ government vehicle tracking system so that you are able to know where, who, and how the vehicle is being used. Pamene zafikapa pa Malawi pawonongeka basi ngati osamwesana mchape kuti mbava zife, umbava upita pasogolo zedi.

Ndiye akakudyereni kuti ogwira ntchito m’bomawo. Ma salary ake amenewa ndiye munthu fuel uli naye usachite OPEC? Forward with fuel debit card-money exchange system. Tikanatuwa patauni pakadapanda fuel card. This involves all of us who are connected to vehicles so palibe nkhani – drivers, Office Supervisors, Directors, PS’s, judges, ministers, (and their deputies), DC’s, and their concubines
