Senior Counsel Paul Muite has urged the next Ugandan government to prioritize recovering funds lost through Government-to-Government (G-to-G) fuel deals. In a recent statement, Muite echoed President Yoweri Museveni’s remarks on the issue, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in financial dealings between the government and foreign entities.
Muite highlighted the significant financial losses incurred through these agreements, which he argued have undermined public trust and economic stability. He called for a comprehensive audit of all G-to-G fuel contracts to identify discrepancies and ensure proper financial management. The legal expert also stressed the importance of international cooperation in recovering illicit funds.
The debate over G-to-G fuel deals has intensified in recent months, with critics accusing the government of mismanagement and corruption. Muite’s comments come amid growing public pressure for greater fiscal responsibility and transparency in Uganda’s energy sector. The next government will face the challenge of addressing these concerns while maintaining economic growth.
