The Mayor of Accra, Alfred Vanderpuije, has ordered an audit into the operations of premix fuel committees along some beaches in Accra.
They are Chorkor Worlei Amli, Chorkor Mantsuru, Lantemaalin, Chemuanaa and Gbegbeyise.
He gave the order at a meeting with members of the committees on challenges facing them in Accra on Tuesday.
It was a follow-up visit to the areas by Minister of Employment and Social Welfare Enoch Teye Mensah and Nii Amasa Namoale, Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture in-charge of Fisheries, on challenges affecting their operations.
Dr Vanderpuije called for monthly reports from the committees to ensure proper accounting procedures for premix fuel received and distributed.
He condemned activities of Chairmen of the committees for running "a one man show" and not involving other members in their operations.
"I am not happy with the performance of the committees for the past five months. You should improve your performance", he adviced.
He directed the committees to set aside 53 per cent of revenue accrued from the sales for development in the communities, announcing that three AMA staff had been directed to take over the distribution of premix fuel in the Ga Mashie area until procedures were streamlined.
