Egypt: EGPC unveils results of inspection campaign at fuel stations

Arab Finance: The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) announced the results of its periodic inspection campaign of the petroleum products trading and distribution system, according to a statement. Conducted by the Central Committee for the Control of Petroleum Products Circulation, the campaign took place during the third week of July and covered 26 gas stations in 14 governorates. In the New Valley Governorate, the authority seized a fuel station over collecting large quantities of diesel and gasoline, amounting to 15,700 liters, for illegal disposal, with a fine of EGP 471,000. Moreover, the committee has taken legal action against a diesel tanker driver, as he was caught red-handed on the Abu Zekry axis in Alexandria selling illegal quantities of diesel fuel. The campaign also uncovered tampering with the calibration of nine fuel nozzles at four stations. They were seized in preparation for proper recalibration of the fuel pumps by the Egyptian Organization for Standardization and Quality (EOS). Also, the authority discovered water in a diesel tank at one station and took action immediately to disinfect the tank and ensure the safety of citizens' vehicles. The committee observed several violations at some fuel stations related to safe operating procedures, which resulted in a lack of awareness among employees about the risks of certain operational behaviors, such as smoking inside the station or refueling vehicles while the engine is running. In this regard, stations were required to adhere to safe operating regulations, informing workers about these procedures to ensure the safety of customers and themselves as well. Meanwhile, specialized training programs are being developed for fuel station workers in cooperation with the training centers of the sector's companies. Other programs are also being implemented for fuel depot and tanker truck inspection workers to raise awareness and ensure compliance with safety standards. © 2025 All Rights Reserved Arab Finance For Information Technology Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Hampshire police improving but 'needs to do more', report says

A police force is improving but must "do more to meet the public's needs", an inspection report has Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services assessed Hampshire & Isle of Wight police's efficiency, effectiveness, and legitimacy (PEEL) between 2023 and said they were "pleased with some aspects of the performance" and noted improvements since its last PEEL & Isle of Wight Constabulary said the findings were a "testament to the work of officers, staff and volunteers". HM inspector Roy Wilsher said the force had "taken steps to improve" and praised its performance in "keeping people safe, reducing crime and providing victims with an effective service".However, he raised concerns that the force did not answer emergency and non-emergency calls "in a timely way". Mr Wilsher said the force did not always act as quickly as it should, but he was "pleased to find" this was being addressed with an increase in call added: "The constabulary has seen notable improvements in call answering and attendance times, but it needs to do more to meet the public's needs." The PEEL inspection also found officers worked "effectively" with other organisations to keep vulnerable people safe and tackle the behaviour of perpetrators. Acting Chief Constable Sam de Reya said: "The report reflected that we have made significant changes, are better connected with our local communities, improved the way we investigate to bring more offenders to justice, provided better outcomes for victims and reduced crime."She later added: "While there were no areas identified as requiring improvement, we are not complacent. "The public expects a police service that responds when they need us, investigates crime to a high standard, keeps them updated on what is happening and brings offenders to justice."

Inspection in loco takes centre stage in Senzo Meyiwa murder trial

An inspection in loco at a municipal building in Vosloorus became a focal point in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial on Tuesday. One of the five accused, Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, led the court to the spot where he was allegedly assaulted by officials. The lead investigator in the matter, who is also accused of the assault, Brig Bongani Gininda, also participated in the inspection. The inspection took place on July 4 after it was requested by Sibiya's lawyer, advocate Charles Mnisi. Sibiya demonstrated to the court how he was allegedly assaulted by Gininda and other officers. Photos were taken during the site visit. On Tuesday, state prosecutor advocate George Baloyi officially placed the details of the inspection on record. Baloyi explained that court officials had to drive to the Gold Sports complex at the municipal offices in Vosloorus, which houses various offices, including the metro police offices. Sibiya had to show them where he was assaulted. 'Accused one mentioned that on May 30 2020 they came from Thembisa to the municipal offices and about seven vehicles parked in the open parking area of the premises,' Baloyi said. 'He was handcuffed from behind and a plastic bag was put on his face. He mentioned that Brig Gininda appeared and the other police officers who were with him moved to the parked motor vehicles and held a meeting. He mentioned that the municipal area is known as a gold spot and the police station is behind those premises and that he has passed by that place previously and is familiar with the surroundings,' he said. Baloyi said advocate Mnisi had explained that , one could not see what was happening at the spot pointed out by Sibiya as no-one was moving around at the time because it was during the Covid-19 lockdown. Sibiya had also mentioned that other officials, including members of the metro police, were present when he was assaulted. 'He is unable to say who assaulted him and how he was assaulted as his face was covered in plastic. He said about 14 police officers participated in the assault. Some were in uniform, some in civilian clothes and some were metro police officers. On June 5 2020, the cars came through the same municipality gate and parked at more or less the same spot.' Sibiya said he was placed at more or less the same spot as on May 30 2020. 'He was made to sit and he was handcuffed from behind but no leg irons. A plastic bag was put on him and he was assaulted by about 10 or fewer police officers. There were not that many. Thereafter, they left for Alberton,' said Baloyi. Baloyi said Gininda disputed that it was the place where they were and asked that a note be taken of the fact that there is only one entrance and exit to the municipal premises. He explained that the court and the police station are divided by a wall, but there is no wall or fence to the parking area in front of the police station. On arrival at the parking area at Vosloorus police station, Baloyi said Gininda had pointed out where he met Sibiya in a red VW Golf. 'Brig Gininda mentioned that there is a motor vehicle entrance next to the pedestrian entrance. He also mentioned that the late Sgt Mabena's vehicle was also there,' he said. Gininda said he had not seen Sibiya on June 5 2020 and only saw him on May 30 this year. The trial continues on Wednesday. TimesLIVE
