Uganda shortlists four firms for oil refinery project

Uganda has shortlisted four companies from which it intends to select the bid winner to construct its $4.27 billion oil refinery, Energy Minister Irene Muloni has announced.

“We hit a snag last year when we were about to sign with the Russians who pulled out. Now we have four consortia, that appeared to be of interest for us, and which we feel have the capacity. We will pick the winner from among these to build the refinery,” Ms Muloni said on April 25.
