Museveni Questions Kenya's G-to-G Oil Procurement Deal
What happened
Yoweri Museveni questioned Kenya's procurement arrangements while Abu Dhabi National Oil Company was involved in a Government-to-Government oil deal. Museveni stated that Uganda had previously used intermediaries in Kenya despite the G-to-G framework, prompting Uganda to change its procurement approach and source bulk petroleum directly. In response, Fred Matiang’i demanded that Kenya publish the G-to-G agreement and scrutinize the role of intermediaries.

Why it matters
The controversy highlights concerns over transparency in Kenya's petroleum imports and the use of intermediaries in the supply chain. Museveni's remarks suggest Uganda is shifting its sourcing away from Kenyan intermediaries. This scrutiny introduces political risk into the G-to-G oil arrangement involving Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
Kenya had secured framework agreements for refined product imports from major oil companies.
