Ugandan Members of Parliament have accused fuel retailers of hoarding fuel, which has kept the pump prices in the country high despite the easing of the border stalemate.
Three weeks since the sharp rise in fuel prices due to a supply shortage occasioned by the fuel truck drivers’ strike at the Malaba border, a litre of petrol is still retailing at an average Ush5,000 ($1.43), up from Ush4,500 ($1.28) before the stalemate.
