The Ministry of Energy and Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) have published a list of 75 fuel pump stations said to be selling adulterated fuel over the last three months.
According to a notice signed off by Rev Frank Tukwasibwe, the commissioner of Petroleum Supply department in the ministry, the 75 pump stations had failed the quarterly fuel marking exercise that distinguishes adulterated fuel from the unadulterated one.
According to the circular, the pump stations in question are located in, among other districts, Wakiso, Masaka, Mayuge, Mbarara, Kyenjojo, and Ntungamo.
The Petroleum Supply Act requires any person interested in the trade of (importation, exportation, transportation, storage, wholesale and retail of) petroleum products in Uganda to first obtain a license from the Commissioner for Petroleum Supply Department in the ministry.
The same applies to anyone interested in constructing a petrol station. There are more than 2,000 fuel pump stations in the country, many of which do not meet the standards.
