EWURA's Initiative to Eliminate Unsafe Fuel Trading Practices in Rural Areas

TLDR

• Previously, investors seeking a fuel station licence were required to pay about 5 million shillings for the application process.
• He explained that one of the key areas of focus during the exhibition was encouraging investment in rural fuel stations because many potential investors believe that establishing such facilities requires extremely high.
• EWURA has also recognised that rural communities do not require the same type of fuel station infrastructure commonly found in major towns and cities.
• Beyond reducing licensing fees, EWURA has simplified some documentation procedures required for investors establishing rural fuel stations.
• Similarly, investors developing fuel stations in unsurveyed villages may use permits issued by village governments or other recognised authorities confirming approval for the proposed developments.
