PRESIDENT M7 TO THE UNETHICAL STANDARD NEWSPAPER/MEDIA & CLUELESS KENYAN OPPOSITION:
"In the meantime, some Kenya Media People decided, recently, to put pilipili (red pepper) in what I said recently when I was laying the Foundation stone of the 320 million litres oil storage centre at Buyala.
The real story is that when we were fighting Idi Amin, among other things, we used to say that he had destroyed governance in Uganda by putting abatasoma (the ones that did not go to school) in charge of running the affairs of the Country. Indeed, when we defeated Idi Amin, we put back the civil servants in charge of running the administration of the Country. It was much later that we discovered that those civil servants (PS, Commissioners, etc.), were ruining the Country.
In, for instance, the matter of purchasing Petroleum products for the country- a whole Country-Uganda- I did not know that these wonderful People were buying those products through middle-men in Kenya by tendering to those middlemen.
It was a Kenyan Senator called Jirongo who told me this around 2019. I immediately tasked the then Minister Irene Muloni to sort out that mess.
Nevertheless, nothing happened, until 2023 when we linked up with a group known as Vitol that has refineries in different parts of the World and are also bulk suppliers. Our initial agreement with them on the 18th of August 2023, provided that we buy per metric tonne as follows:
Diesel:
Old priceโUSD 118
New priceโUSD 83
Petrol:
Old PriceโUSD 97.5
New PriceโUSD 61.5
Aviation fuel:
Old priceโUSD 114.25
New priceโUSD 79.25
I want to thank H.E Ruto because he prevailed over some actors in Kenya who were trying to resist. That is how we got our new arrangement and the Kenya Government allows us to pump our products through the Kenya oil pipeline in which the Kenya Government allowed us to have shares of 20.15%.
We are very happy with the Kenya Government of President Ruto on this matter.
Signed:
Yoweri K Museveni
President of the Republic of Uganda
