Parliament has opened an inquiry into the pricing model of petroleum products by the energy regulator following public uproar over the steep rise in the cost of petrol.

A joint committee of the National Assembly has been directed to commence a probe into the activities of the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) in setting the monthly fuel prices. The committee has 30 days to report back to the House.
