(Business in Cameroon) - Headed by Esaïe Massoume, Cameroonian company, Amla just designed an innovative new product to limit fraud in its domestic gas cylinder distribution. The company has made an electronic seal that allows domestic gas cylinders to be tracked from the filling centre to the distributor. The same device also ensures the cylinders’ accurate weight and even gives the consumer the possibility of checking how much gas is left in the cylinder.

According to the promoter, the electronic device should revolutionise the fight against fraud on the quantity being distributed in the domestic gas sector. Indeed, according to various reports by the Ministry of Trade’s Anti-Fraud Brigade, thousands of domestic gas cylinders currently sold in Cameroon weigh less than the regulation standard 12Kg, as distributors have set-up a network of pre-sale gas cylinder siphoning.
