Officials noted that the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development and the Uganda National Oil Company are actively managing supply chains and maintaining adequate stock levels to meet national demand.
The Government of Uganda urged the public to remain calm and avoid panic buying of fuel.
Ongoing Global Tensions

However, the Government of Uganda said measures have been put in place in order to monitor the pricing trends closely and also ensure fuel costs remain within manageable levels for the consumers.
