Landlocked Uganda filed a lawsuit against Kenya in early January, alleging that Nairobi reneged on its commitment last year to support Kampala's desire to import fuel directly and prevented the issuance of a license to import oil through the port of Mombasa. However, the dispute was later resolved.
Uganda and Kenya
signed a tripartite agreement in relation to the importation and transit of refined petroleum products from Kenya to Uganda, which will be conducted by the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC).
The agreement was inked between Kenya's Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, Uganda's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, and the UNOC.
"[The agreement] enables Uganda National Oil Company Ltd. to import refined oil products and commodities directly from producers in different jurisdictions, thus bringing to an end the challenges faced by the sector in Uganda. We will continuously provide support to make sure that this new agreement is implemented, is functioning, and is mutually beneficial," Kenya's President William Ruto said after the signing.
On Wednesday, Ugandan President
Yoweri Museveni arrived in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, for a three-day official visit.
"I am delighted to be in Kenya today at the invitation of H.E. Ruto. This serves as a platform to further strengthen the strong historical ties between Uganda and Kenya. I look forward to having fruitful discussions during this visit," the head of state wrote on X.
The visit comes after Kenya and Uganda recently ended their second session of the Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC) on May 12-14, during which seven
memoranda of understanding were signed in the following areas: public service management; education; small and medium enterprise development; sports; youth; commerce; and investment.
Furthermore, in order to guarantee the quick and complete execution of decisions made during past and most recent JMC sessions and bilateral meetings, the countries
committed to establishing a Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanism.
They also agreed to address both
tariff and non-tariff barriers in a new cooperation agreement, which was once again confirmed by Ruto during his speech on Thursday.
