Member countries in the East African Community have been invited to participate in Uganda’s planned refinery project. The government invited four of its fellow EAC countries who have until October 15 to confirm their participation. Countries invited to participate are Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
Uganda is offering the countries 40% of the project according to Robert Kasande, the team leader of the project. “We have extended the invitation for the public to own a stake to our regional partner states. They will have 10 per cent,” he said in a statement to the media.
The government in Uganda is currently in the process of acquiring the land for the refinery, which will hold staff quarters, a health facility, an aerodrome with a runway the same size of Entebbe International Airport, waste management facilities, and petrochemical industries.
