On fuel scarcity

IT  is no longer news that the scarcity of fuel is affecting all and sundry.

It is affecting all because even people that have vehicles can’t buy fuel not to talk of commuters who need to get to their destinations by boarding vehicles.

Now things are falling apart. The centre cannot hold becausefuel is scarce. It is with violence and fighting that many buy fuel.

With curses, shouting, thuggery and hooliganism, some unleash terror, all in the name of petrol.

Even transport fare has become double what people spent before thefuel became scarce, and things has got to the stage of turning yourself into mathematician before leaving your house.

I know that the government is trying its best to bring an end to the scarcity, but the people care less about this.

Whichever approach we take in tackling this issue of fuel scarcity, let us always remember to pray for our leaders and country.

This is because if we don’t, “our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,” according to Martin Luther King Jnr.
