It was heard that the fuel subsidy was subject to theft.

The Ethiopian People's Ombudsman has announced that research has confirmed that the oil subsidy has been exposed to theft, smuggling and wastage outside of its intended purpose.

The results of a study conducted by the Public Ombudsman Institution in Ethiopia on the implementation of the targeted fuel subsidy and the problems encountered in the implementation process have been announced.

The chief ombudsman of the Ethiopian Public Ombudsman Institute, Dr. Zahal Haile

The study indicated that there are wide gaps and problems in the implementation of the targeted fuel subsidy.

He said that theft and illegality, as well as smuggling and waste, are especially common around gas stations and retailers.

In addition, he said that the study indicated that the subsidy is being used by drivers in an unwanted manner rather than the society. He said that the vehicles using the subsidy have stopped providing regular services and are engaged in contract work.

He said that the study showed that the fuel subsidy beneficiaries are charging 90 birr to 200 birr and 300 birr to 600 birr.

This is due to the lack of coordinated deployment and control in the area of ​​transportation, the failure of officials and professionals in charge of the business and transportation sector to fulfill their responsibilities properly, and the weak coordination system, he said.

In order to solve the problems, it is necessary to strengthen the coordinated system of the stakeholders and control the vehicles using the subsidy with GPS technology.

ESA reported that they suggested that a policy framework should be developed based on the purpose of fuel subsidies aimed at solving the problems in a sustainable manner.

He pointed out that in order for the implementation to be consistent and effective, starting from the federal state, including the states, city governments, zones and districts, they should own the declaration.
