National Oil Company of Malawi Limited (NOCMA) has failed to appear before the Parliamentary Committee on Trade Industry and Tourism.

Chair of the Committee who is a Member of Parliament for Kasungu West, Simplex Chithyola, said the committee wanted to inquire about the status of the fuel availability in the country and what NOCMA is doing to address the situation.

He said NOCMA did not send any reason for its failure to appear before the committee and this is the first time for such a public office to ignore the summon.
