African Energy Chamber Hopeful for a Quick Resolution of Disagreements Over Fuel Shortages in Tanzania
The African Energy Chamber is calling for the respect of the rule of law,
and asking that they be afforded all due processes as required by
Tanzanian law
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, July 6, 2020/ -- The African Energy Chamber (https://EnergyChamber.org/) expresses its concerns over the alleged arrest and detention of three
energy executives in Tanzania last week. Total Tanzania’s Managing
Director Jean-Francois Schoepp, Puma Supply Manager Adam Eliewinga and
Oryx’s representative August Dominick were arrested for questioning and
taken into custody while attending a consultative meeting between oil
marketers and the Energy and Water Regulatory Authority (Ewura) in Dar
es Salaam.
The African Energy Chamber is calling for the respect of the rule of
law, and asking that they be afforded all due processes as required by
Tanzanian law. Given how critical these times are the ongoing economic
crisis across the continent because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the
Chamber is hoping for a quick and amicable resolution to such
disagreements that are detrimental to Tanzanian citizens.
“We hope that any ongoing disagreement between oil marketers and the
Tanzanian government will be quickly resolved so everyone can get back
to business and to providing services to Tanzanian consumers. The
Chamber has repeatedly applauded Tanzania for its strike in discovering
significant gas resources. With the right infrastructure, Tanzania’s
natural resources could transform the country into an oasis of energy
growth. We do not want to see such isolated incidents affect the
attractiveness of the country for foreign investors and ultimately
affect the its energy independence and slow down jobs creation,”
declared Nj Ayuk, Executive Chairman at the African Energy Chamber.
The Chamber will remain open to assisting all parties in reaching an
amicable solution to ongoing disagreements and calls on all stakeholders to promote a stronger dialogue on ongoing matters of fuel supply across Tanzania.
