By Zoila Palma: Today, the Belize Retail Service Station Association issued a statement confirming the present shortage of fuel in Belize.

“For reasons unknown to us at this time, the fuel delivery has been delayed but it is on its way,” the statement said.

In addition, the association says that this situation has proved the need for urgent action and resolution against the lack of public information from the government and the importer (Puma Energy Bahamas).

“Even as the fuel industry’s front line, the BRSSA dealers have not been consulted in coming up with measures directed towards mitigating the effects of public panic during times like these. We, the dealers are committed to creating a seat at the table so as to provide an outlet for the public’s fuel related concerns as well as to help in coming up with solutions that will better serve us all,” the association expressed.

The association says that these issues need to be addressed immediately.

“We take this opportunity to thank the public for their patience and understanding while we weather out this inconvenience,” the association said.
