Citizens across Malawi have strongly criticized the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority and the Malawi Revenue Authority for failing to curb informal vendors selling fuel on the illicit black market at exorbitant prices amidst severe nationwide shortages.

Frustrated motorists and consumers accuse regulatory authorities of turning a blind eye while illegal traders hoard petrol and diesel, inflating prices well beyond official regulated caps while commercial service stations run dry.

The growing public outcry highlights deepening socio-economic pressure on Malawian households and businesses struggling with transportation disruptions and supply chain bottlenecks.
