Nairobi. Kenya and Uganda are in talks to establish a joint oil refinery in Tanzania, in a move aimed at harnessing the region’s crude oil resources and strengthening energy security.
Speaking at The Africa We Build Summit in Nairobi on Thursday, Kenya President William Ruto said the proposed facility would process crude from across the region, including Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan, into refined petroleum products for regional consumption.
