The government had remained silent over the fuel shortage issue until the final hours of today that the Acting Prime Minister John Rosso assured the nation of the governments intentions to restore the much-needed fuel supply by this evening. Before the assurance came from the government, PNG Power Ltd warned people living in the outside centers of the country that they had no choice but to brace for the worst, should the fuel crisis continued to remain unsolved. That was the word from the PNG Power Limited (PPL) Chief Executive Officer (OIC) Mr. Obed Batia, who said that the power company like all others who are dependent on fuel, have no choice but to wait for this matter to be fixed. He said for the main centers like Port Moresby, Lae and Madang, there is no need for concern as those centers are supplied by hydro power, and gas to power plants. It’s just those centers outside like Manus, Wewak, Aitape, Vanimo and Daru to name to name a few that are at the mercy of the authorities who are looking into this matter. Nevertheless, the power company is taking measures like power load shedding to ensure fuel is preserved until such time the fuel crisis is over. However, this will not be necessary anymore because the Acting Prime Minister John Rosso gave the assurance that the fuel crisis will be resolved by this evening.
