The Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has affirmed government’s commitment to address the challenges with the implementation of the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM).

Godwin Kudzo Tameklo assured businesses operating in the LPG distribution chain of the petroleum downstream industry of the NPA’s continued collaboration to deal with the lingering issues and promote growth.

He gave the assurance when he toured LPG Bottling Plants belonging to Goil, New Gas and Blue Ocean in the Tema enclave, to acquaint himself with the new LPG distribution chain.

Mr. Tameklo was accompanied by his two deputies, Dr. Sheila Addo and Dr. Dramani Bukari.

He stated that the NPA is very pro-business in the exercise of its regulatory mandate as it protects Ghanaian businesses that comply with the standards and play by the rules.

Commenting on the challenges enumerated by the bottling plant owners, the NPA Boss said the Authority would address the issue of unlicensed companies offering LPG door-to-door services which undermines safety protocols for handling LPG.
