NPA to better scrutinise cargo tampering claims after tanker drivers’ complaints

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) will offer more scrutiny of seal tampering to address concerns raised by the Ghana National Tanker Drivers Association during its strike.

Speaking to Citi News after meeting the NPA, the Chairman of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union, George Nyaunu, said the Union was hopeful subsequent engagements will bring finality to addressing their grievances.

It felt some tampering claims against some drivers were unfair and poorly assessed after monitoring the Electronic Cargo Tracking system.

Nyaunu, however, said his union was not against the tracking of drivers transporting fuel.

In the event of valid tampering claims, he said the union will back sanctions.

“We will support them even against the driver because we need to sanitise the system
