Official and media demands have emerged urging the government to open the file of asphalt plants and verify their actual operations, amid suspicions of non-operational plants acquiring black oil quotas to sell in parallel markets. The calls emphasized the need
to form joint field audit committees between the Ministries of Oil and Industry to conduct surprise inspections and assess the true production capacities of these plants. This oversight initiative aims to halt financial waste, control distribution mechanisms, and enhance transparency
in managing national resources.
