Salum Bimani, national official of ACT-Wazalendo, is asking the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar to cover part of the cost of fuel, as petrol reaches 4,000 shillings per litre. Diesel and kerosene cost 4,100 shillings, reports Jamhuri Media.
Salum Bimani, national secretary for communications of the Tanzanian ACT-Wazalendo party, has asked the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar to cover part of the cost of fuel in order to reduce prices and ease household expenses. He was speaking to journalists in Vuga, Unguja, according to Jamhuri Media.
A litre of petrol currently costs 4,000 Tanzanian shillings, while diesel and kerosene cost 4,100 shillings, Salum Bimani said. He said that the rise in fuel prices recorded in one week was already beginning to increase the cost of everyday goods and reduce residents' ability to meet their essential needs, reports Jamhuri Media.
Salum Bimani called on the Zanzibar authorities to act quickly to limit the effects of rising fuel prices on economic activity and the cost of living, according to Jamhuri Media.
