Hi! Hope you guys are well. I’m back in Kampala for our oil HRIA.

Since I was last here:

Government forces killed political protesters and tortured the opposition party leader.

Inflation hit 30%.

The prime ministers and two other ministers allegedly accepted bribes for oil deals – Museveni stalled investigations.

The government’s new land management policy explicitly condemned rich Kampalans for illegally buying communal land used for centuries by oil zone inhabitants.

Since Last Week:

The government signed new Production Sharing Agreements with Tullow and green-lighted its plan to sell oil Blocks to Total of France and CNOOC of China.

The civil society groups of Kampala have vowed to rabble-rouse in the oil zone and get locals to protest until the Production Sharing Agreements are made public.
