Gamers and experts in the oil downstream industry are attesting to the sterling leadership in the National Petroleum Authority (NPA). The glowing testimonies through CBOD’s Senyo Hosi plus COPEC’s Duncan Amoah are usually matters of public record. Those people Petroleum Service Providers (PSPs) actively playing by the rules and regulations of the sector are actually heaping praises upon Hon. Dr . Mustapha Abdul-Hamid. They have attested to the fact that details have started changing within the petroleum downstream industry. Those people who are not playing by the guidelines are feeling the heat. I got seen spurious social media content emanating from an evil-motivated broadcast from the fugitive – Kevin Taylor. What is obvious in his broadcast is the crass ignorance and lack of knowledge of the operations in the oil downstream work as well since the sheer arrogance with which this individual displays same on his discredited platform. Being loud plus attacking the integrity associated with honest people does not restoration your own deficiencies. First of all, any kind of allegation that the current Leader of NPA, Dr . Abdul-Hamid, has ‘muted’ or concealed the list of Oil Marketing and advertising Companies (OMCs) operating in the land on the NPA website is totally false. The list of OMCs in Ghana are available on the site and not just the list, but their functionality statistics, which the NPA generates periodically. It is interesting to notice that the same performance record produced by the NPA is exactly what this phony journalist useful for his malicious broadcast. Minus any shame, this humorous guy fails to give credit score to the Research Department associated with NPA for using their work with his mischievous broadcast. Market players and researchers possess consistently used these regular performance reports for severe boardroom discussions and company strategies as well as for research reasons. Based on the same report, sanctions are exacted on PSPs that have breached industry rules. Again, the Ghana Income Authority (GRA) is the just state institution mandated legally to collect taxes and prices. The National Petroleum Specialist does not collect taxes plus levies on behalf of the state. The particular statutory margins collected from the NPA are for particular industry operational purposes. For example, the UPPF margin within the price build-up is used to cover the transportation of oil products across the country, so that costs across the country are uniform. With no UPPF margin, prices associated with petroleum products would have already been higher in the regions further away from the ports. Most of our petroleum products are usually imported through Tema. To say that the NPA Employer is shielding some OMCs from paying taxes implies that the person making this frivolous accusations is clueless about what they are talking about. To demonstrate operations in the market in more practical terms, for the OMC wants to load oil products, it places the order through NPA’s ERDMS software system, which immediately results in GRA’s ICUMS software system. The particular GRA system would after that check to confirm if a good OMC is in good position to load petroleum products. This really is is done automatically without any human being interventions and when confirmed to be within good standing with GRA then that’s when the purchases move to the next stages till the tankers are loaded with products. In case an OMC is not shown to be in good standing then your orders are declined plus cannot be loaded. So a good OMC can only load launched in good standing with NPA and GRA if an OMC is not within good standing with NPA they won’t have access to location orders. So how can NPA shield any OMC through paying taxes? It is very feature of this hatchet guy, who will be reputed for doing the putting in a bid of the NDC and it is communication outfit for a charge, to make such wild plus unsubstantiated allegations against the GRA and NPA Bosses plus accuse them of conniving to protect OMCs from spending taxes. I am very certain this guy is intoxicated simply by watching too many conspiracy films. And is it even correct the GRA is not chasing after defaulting OMCs for no payment of taxes? Within the said malicious broadcast, this particular phony journalist actually accepted that the GRA has sued Apex Energy for no payment of taxes. When GRA is using the courtroom processes to recover taxes through defaulting OMCs, how can any kind of reasonable and sane individual accuse GRA of protecting the same OMCs from spending taxes? Again, just final month, the GRA released a public notice in order to defaulting OMCs to pay their own taxes or face criminal prosecution and also have their names released in the newspapers. If this alleged journalist had spent little time researching news upon credible platforms, he would have discovered this information available and for totally free. But he will not, he or she prefers to sit in the usa and publish lies regarding people with integrity for a charge. Few days ago, the NPA Boss disclosed at a open public event organized by TotalEnergies that 102 OMCs have already been sanctioned for various breaches of the industry regulations. These details was widely published upon many platforms but this particular loud guy did not discover the information because he did not perform any research. That 102 number is super vast majority (about two thirds) from the OMCs operating in the country. Therefore Dr . Mustapha Abdul-Hamid is not really a person to shield any kind of private company from spending taxes. Hon. Dr . Mustapha Abdul-Hamid is a person an excellent source of integrity and public values. He is known for upholding increased values and virtues in the public life. On the outrageous allegation of owners associated with OMCs accumulating taxes plus applying for new OMC permit, it is instructive to note that will since Dr . Mustapha Abdul-Hamid assumed office as the brand new Chief Executive, not a single ONLINE MARKETING CONSULTANT license has been granted to the person. In fact , the Plank of NPA was reconstituted not long ago and the Board subcommittees have just been formed. So that accusations is also baseless and without advantage. It is a matter of criminal record that the NPA Boss provides decried the high number of OMCs operating in the country. He has widely said with such large number of OMCs, it makes controlling the industry challenging and he is going to clean up the industry. Currently, many OMCs risk dropping their licenses by Dec 31st, 2021 if they neglect to meet the requisite infrastructural specifications. Letters have been written plus sent to these affected OMCs, and industry players plus experts are aware about this directive by the NPA Boss. Doctor Mustapha Abdul-Hamid has zinc coated the support of company directors and staff at NPA to reduce the impunity in the market, to the applause of sector watchers. There are OMCs which have been deactivated from the ERDMS plus stopped from operating in the market since October 2021 until date. I am not sure issue phony journalist is questioned because he is not in Ghana. But that excuse will be untenable in this internet age group. And if he took journalism as a serious trade and it has any care for Ghana, he’d have done some research. Samson Ayenini has described this particular phony Kevin Taylor man as not only “irrelevant” but additionally an “insulting ignoramus in whose tabloid of jokes he or she does in the name of journalism”. It is a perfect description of this artificial journalist called Kevin Taylor swift, if I am to evaluate that impugned broadcast. Patriot Faisal Ibrahim
