Yei Municipality Mayor has issued a provisional order controlling the supply of petrol and diesel to consumers.
Bidali Cosmas Wori-Kojo restricts fuel companies from selling petrol and diesel in containers without permission, Radio Easter reports.
He warns that any violation of the order will lead to fine of ten thousand South Sudanese Pounds or six months’ imprisonment.
The mayor wants fuel to be sold directly to vehicle like motorbikes and cars instead of containers.
