Museveni says ‘lies’ made Uganda stop buying fuel through Kenya Kenyan responded with a diplomatic touch, saying the ties between the two countries remain strong. Africa 7 hours ago

Mr Museveni, speaking in Uganda on Thursday, said a Kenyan senator brought it to his attention about seven years ago that Ugandans were being fleeced by purchasing the products sourced by Kenya.

At the event, Mr Museveni had Energy Permanent Secretary Irene Batebe read the steep prices that Uganda was paying for fuel products to illustrate, in his own words, “how the middlemen in Kenya were cheating us”.” Mr Museveni explained that with its new arrangement, Uganda is now buying fuel from “people who had refineries”.
