LOCAL NEWS – 10.01.2011 - By Emmanuel Lopus - shortage of super fuel stalls boda boda services in lodwar town today.


Boda boda transportation in town has been hindered due to shortage of super fuel in Lodwar fueling stations. Making stops at various fueling stations like Africans filling station, Nikon Nikon, Lota lado, and Kobil have shortage of fuel prompting the motorists to line up waiting to fill their motorbikes.
These delays have hampered the bodaboda transport as some clients/customers need quick services and meet deadlines. Commenting on the same issue, Mr. Jose Stone one of owners of the African a filling station said that the problem with Super shortage is Due to the delay of Oil transportation from Eldoret pipeline to Lodwar which is hindered by bad conditions of our roads.
Mr. Joseph also said that the policies guiding the transportation of fuel from Eldoret do not favour the conditions of our bad roads as the vehicles plying these roads have to reach the pipeline area before by 5pm to collect oil or in case of lateness collect the following day. But hope is there tomorrow as the fuel will stabilize since most filling stations are expected to receive their fuel at night.
