Ruhinda North Member of Parliament (MP), Thomas Tayebwa, has decried parties in the Uganda oil sector to devise measures of inclusion of Ugandans saying that few are benefitting from the oil sector.
During a session in which the House Committee on Natural Resources questioning officials from Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU) yesterday, Tayebwa said that the sector is met to be for Ugandan but it is absurd that only the rich are included.
According to the PAU’s director of exploration, Dozith Abeinomugisha, Ugandans have provided civil works and environment consultancy as well as other minor services but the challenge is to identify potentials among Ugandans.
“The main objective of NSD is to ensure that government is aware of the experience and capabilities of qualified Ugandans and foreign companies in the petroleum subsector,” he said.
