Investigations
Hormuud Telecom Imports Iranian LPG to Somalia
Details have emerged of a shocking revelations concerning Hormuud Telecom.
Details in possession of Kenya Insights investigative team reveal that the giant telco is embroiled in shaddy corruption deals, bypassing safety standards and importing sub standard LPG.
Hormuud Telecom imports Iranian LPG to Somalia, and Iran is sanctioned by the United States.
Hormuud claims it was imported from Iraq, as vessel tracking data shows.
The only exporter of LPG from Iraq, Basrah Gas Company, has denied that the vessel AL Diab II loaded LPG from Basrah Gas Company Qasr Terminal.
There is difficulty in tracking vessels loading and shipping from Iran, making it easy for Hormuud Telecom to find a way to circumvent the sanctions and buy LPG cheaply from Iran, making colossal profits and providing lifeline support to Iran’s energy sector, and it has been happening for a while now.
This could strain Somalia’s diplomatic relations with the U.S. and other international partners.
Somalia’s government authorities like Customs, and the Coast Guard have no say in determining LPG authencity whether it is illicitly sourced LPG or if it is substandard that could be hazardous to the users in Mogadishu and Somalia, there has been increased gas cylinder explosions in homes leading to fires and damage of properties.
Attached is the letter from Basrah Gas Company in Iraq denying it was loaded from its terminal and the tracking route of the AL Diab II which is false and photos.
