After several filling stations in Uganda running out of fuel, Uganda’s minister for energy, Irene Muloni says Uganda has no capacity to store petrol that can last for two weeks.

Her statement has sent motorists and drivers into panic. The minister’s statement doesn’t show whether the oil shortage would be fixed soon.

She says that Uganda only stores fuel that last for not more than three days. Uganda gets oil supply from western Kenya. Much of the fuel Uganda uses is imported from Kenya.

But the minister’s statement has left many Ugandans baffled, wondering how former Ugandan president ‘Filed Martial, chancellor, Iddi Amin Dada, the conqueror of the British Empire’ who was scarcely educated could have thought of constructing fuel reserves and Museveni’s government that is administered by educated people  fails to build fuel reserves.
