DA presents Fuel Price Deregulation Bill to Parliament
4 July 2022
Please find attached a soundbite by Kevin Mileham MP.
Today, in the wake of another massive fuel price increase, the DA has handed in our Fuel Price Deregulation Bill to Parliament for processing by Parliament’s Legal Services. This groundbreaking bill will seek to amend the Petroleum Products Act, which gives government the power to prescribe the price of petroleum products.
We intend to publish our ‘Notice of Intention to Introduce’ in the Government Gazette later this week, within which the public will be invited to provide comment on the stated aims of our Bill.
Now the ball is firmly in the ANC government's court and it has the chance to do the right thing. The success or failure of regulating the fuel price, now rests with the ANC in Parliament.
