Butali Sugar Mills Limited, one of Kenya’s leading sugar producers, has recently announced an attractive offer for anyone who captures clear video footage or photos of their drivers siphoning fuel.
“Attractive offer for video recording/photos of Butali Sugar Mills Limited Drivers Siphoning Fuel,” read the letter header. “Butali Sugar Mills Limited is offering a reward of KSh 5,000 for video recording/photos of our drivers siphoning fuel with clear view of registration number of the unit or vehicle. The video should be shared to the following number: 0710408590,” the letter continued.
This offer, which amounts to KSh 5,000, has been made in an attempt to combat fuel siphoning, a prevalent problem that affects many businesses in the transportation sector. With the rising cost of fuel, it has become increasingly important for companies to take proactive measures to safeguard their assets.
“We are committed to rooting out this practice and protecting our assets,” said a spokesperson for Butali Sugar Mills Limited. “This initiative is aimed at encouraging individuals to capture footage of fuel siphoning and ultimately help to curb this illegal practice.”
According to the letter, interested parties can share their footage to the provided number and will receive their reward upon verification of the authenticity of the footage.
Fuel siphoning is a serious issue that not only costs companies money but also poses a significant safety risk to drivers and other road users. It is hoped that this initiative by Butali Sugar Mills Limited will serve as a deterrent to anyone who may be considering fuel siphoning in the future.
