With the low-cost fuel procured before the Iran war started now depleted, Ugandans should consider car-pooling or limiting their movements altogether, says @MEMD_Uganda PS @irenebateebe - who was commenting on escalating fuel prices.

It remains to be seen whether new @UEDCLTD MD Joselynne Rwabwogo Rwakakooko will succeed where Mwesigwa failed, considering that the underlying problems - a poor network infrastructure and a weak balance sheet - can't be wished away.

[Deep Earth International @deepearthinter1]

In truth, news of Mwesigwa being pushed out of @UEDCLTD hasn't come as a surprise. It took the intervention of Prime Minister @RobinahNabbanja, last December, to halt his sacking after the Energy Minister @NankabirwaRS had sealed his fate.

. @MEMD_Uganda mines’ inspector David Sebagala says only researched ideas will lead to mining sector reforms. The @UgandaChamber tax forum sought reviews on taxes and licensing fees among others as mining’s place in the Uganda economy grows.

Like many others, @UNOC_UG's partner, Vitol ships a lot of its fuel through the troubled Strait of Hormuz. Meaning the nonchanging global demand will have to be met by smaller supplies. Fuel prices in Uganda could increase as a result.

[Deep Earth International @deepearthinter1]

To keep pump prices steady, Uganda's @UNOC_UG will rely on its supply partner, Vitol Bahrain's strong global network to find other fuel sources as the Iran vs Israel & USA war disrupts regular Gulf supplies.

After acquiring a significant stake in @kenyapipeline through @UNOC_UG, the question on whether Uganda @MEMD_Uganda, which used borrowed funds, had bitten off more than it could chew, remains. Only time will tell if this was smart business.

[Deep Earth International @deepearthinter1]

Privatizing @kenyapipeline meant profit and dividends could dominate the firm's direction going forward, leaving Uganda's fuel security at stake, @MEMD_Uganda Energy Minister @NankabirwaRS says. As such, @UNOC_UG had to go big in the IPO.

With its petroleum products' importation mandate growing stronger by the day, @UNOC_UG is no longer defined by its small role in the upstream oil projects, says @Comrade_Otoa the Corporate Affairs head.

UNOC @UNOC_UG is no longer defined by its small role in the upstream oil projects, says @Comrade_Otoa the Corporate Affairs head. Importing and supplying petroleum products has seen the company become a key pillar of Uganda's economy.
