The Government has announced that it has waived all import duties on diesel as fuel prices continue to rise. This was disclosed by the State Minister for Industry and Investment Promotion, Vincent Karega.
According to a mini survey conducted in Kigali City, pump prices for petrol and diesel this week increased from Frw799 to Frw892. Kerosene increased from Frw721 to Frw814.
The hikes have been blamed on the increase in oil prices worldwide, and the Government's move to guarantee a 100 percent duty-free diesel imports is one of the immediate efforts to avert a possible crisis. Fuel dealers have since been paying a 2 percent tax on diesel.
