As The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development @MEMD_Uganda and Uganda National Oil Company @UNOC_UG we confirm sufficient fuel stocks, with additional deliveries on the way to further strengthen nationwide supply.

I further caution OMCs taking advantage of the global situation to cause scarcity and manipulate prices and “extort”from Ugandans as there’s no reason whatsoever for such a scenario given the current supply from our supplier @vitol_oil
