The Case for a National Oil Marketing Company: A Strategic Path to Economic Relief and Political Stability - Lucky Cheelo Munakampe

The persistent rise in fuel prices and erratic supply of petrol in Zambia, particularly in Lusaka and other urban centers, underscores the urgent need for structural reforms in the energy sector. The closure of the Indeni Oil Refinery and its transformation into an Oil Marketing Company (OMC) was an ambitious move but has proven inadequate to stabilize fuel supply and pricing. As fuel remains a critical determinant of the cost of goods and services, its high cost exacerbates inflation and erodes the purchasing power of ordinary Zambians.

In this context, Zambia must seriously consider establishing a National Oil Marketing Company (NOMC), a state-owned entity that could leverage government-to-government agreements to procure fuel from reliable suppliers such as Saudi Arabia. This strategic move has the potential to transform the energy landscape, alleviate the cost of living, and solidify public confidence in the leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema and the United Party for National Development (UPND).

How a National Oil Marketing Company Can Reduce Fuel Prices

A National Oil Marketing Company would provide Zambia with direct access to affordable fuel by circumventing middlemen and speculative market forces that inflate costs. Government-to-government agreements with major oil-producing nations such as Saudi Arabia could secure stable and lower prices for bulk fuel imports. Additionally, the NOMC could negotiate long-term contracts with favorable terms, ensuring price predictability and shielding the country from global oil market volatility.

By importing fuel at reduced costs, the NOMC would have the ability to set competitive wholesale prices, which would naturally translate into lower pump prices for consumers. Moreover, the centralized procurement system would ensure consistent supply, eliminating the periodic fuel shortages that disrupt economic activity and erode public confidence.

Impact on the Cost of Living

Reduced fuel prices would have a ripple effect across the economy. Transportation costs, a major component of the price of goods and services, would decrease significantly. This would lead to lower costs for essential commodities such as food, medicine, and other household items. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are the backbone of Zambia's economy, would benefit from reduced operating costs, fostering business growth and job creation.

With the cost of living more manageable, disposable incomes would increase, allowing Zambians to invest in better education, healthcare, and housing. Such an improvement in living standards would strengthen social cohesion and contribute to national development.

A Political Asset for President Hichilema and the UPND

The establishment of a National Oil Marketing Company would not only be an economic win but also a political masterstroke. Fuel prices and the cost of living are tangible issues that resonate deeply with voters. Demonstrating the government's commitment to addressing these challenges would bolster public confidence in President Hichilema's leadership.

If successfully implemented, this initiative could become a cornerstone achievement of the UPND administration, showcasing its ability to deliver on its campaign promises of economic transformation and poverty alleviation. The tangible benefits of lower fuel prices and improved living standards would be powerful talking points in the 2026 general elections, positioning President Hichilema and the UPND as the clear choice for a second term.

Conclusion

Zambia stands at a crossroads in its energy policy. Establishing a National Oil Marketing Company is not just an economic imperative but a strategic tool for addressing the twin challenges of high fuel prices and the rising cost of living. By securing affordable and stable fuel supplies, the NOMC would reduce inflationary pressures, stimulate economic growth, and improve the quality of life for millions of Zambians.

For President Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND, this initiative represents an opportunity to cement their legacy as transformative leaders. By prioritizing this bold and pragmatic reform, the administration can secure a brighter future for Zambia and its people while solidifying its political future.
