The Regional Administration of the Authority for Consumer Protection and Defense of Competition (ACODECO), detected that a fuel station that sold 25-pound gas, denied the sale to consumers, in the province of Veraguas.
«The verifiers went to this station and verified that there were full gas tanks, however, they did not want to sell them under the pretext that they were ‘out of sale’.
The employees claimed that these tanks were in reserve and they were not selling it, so an anomaly was drawn up for possible hoarding, since the product is in sight of the buyers, “the entity said.
He explained that he remains alert throughout the country, because allegedly due to the shortage of one of the brands of liquefied gas, there may be some irregularities such as hoarding and alteration of the subsidized price.
He reminded consumers that they can file complaints through the Sindi virtual assistant, through WhatsApp and Telegram 6330-3333, the social network accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and the website.
“The complaints are anonymous, but they must describe the name and exact location of the commercial establishment,” he stressed.
