This assurance, according to the LPRC statement, comes in the wake of unsubstantiated information that there is a shortage of petroleum products in the country. The motorcyclists express regret over the sharp rise in the price of gas, something they described as exploitation by vendors. When contacted, some of the vendors said they increase their gas price because of the increase in Monrovia. “We don’t even have gas, we increase the price of the little we have because it what happening in Monrovia,” said one of the gas sellers. When contacted, the Commerce Authority in Ganta said there is no gas shortage, and therefore they will be citing filling stations that increase their gasoline price.
