Tanzania has suspended increases in petroleum product price announced just two days earlier on Tuesday, and formed a team to investigate economic indicators driving fuel prices up.
Godfrey Chibulunje, acting director general of the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (Ewura) said Thursday that the government has opted to retain the old prices, since all indications were that prices would continue to rise anyway.
