Rt. Hon. Speaker,

I have decided to use the rights of the President, under

Article 101 (2 of the 1!!" #onstitution of the Repu$lic of

%ganda, to address Parlia&ent. I a& e'ercising this right

in order to counter the nefarious and &endacious

ca&paign of the foreign interests, using )*s and so&e

+e&$ers of Parlia&ent, to tr and cripple or disorient the

develop&ent of the *il sector.

If the %gandans &a re&e&$er, this is not the first ti&e

these interests tr to distort the develop&ent of our

histor.

-hen e ere fighting the Sudanese/sponsored terroris&

of on or hen e ere fighting the ar&ed cattle/

rustlers in ara&oa, ou re&e&$er, there ere groups,

including so&e religious leaders, *pposition +e&$ers of

Parlia&ent as ell as )*s, hich ould spend all the

2


3/42

ti&e denouncing us, the reedo& ighters. 3he ere

denouncing those ho ere fighting to defend the lives

and properties of the people, rather than denouncing the

terrorists, the cattle/rustlers and their e'ternal/$ackers

(in the case of on as ell as their internal

colla$orators.

It ould appear as if the rong/doer as the

)overn&ent, the R+, rather than the cri&inals. -e,

patientl, put up ith that &align&ent at the sa&e ti&e

as e fought, got inured or killed, against the ene&

until e achieved victor. 4ventuall, e on, supported

$ the ordinar people and the different people5s &ilitias.

3here is total peace in the hole countr and et the

&isleaders of those ears have not apologi6ed to the

%gandans for their &endacit. Instead, either the sa&e

groups or ne allied groups have e&erged to vilif the

R+ )overn&ent and to spread o$scurantis& as ell as

lies on our *il and )as this ti&e or on corruption.

7


4/42

3his ti&e, these people are spreading lies acting on

$ehalf of e'ternal interests. I ill, later on, sho ou h

I think the are acting on $ehalf of foreign interests.

Hoever, $efore I do that, let &e take %gandans through

the 8$attle9 I have $een fighting to defend the future of

%ganda and its interests in the &atter of Petroleu& and

)as.

I have told ou &an ti&es of that first night in the earl

1!:;, hen a tea& of Shell


5/42

8e'pert9 in *il and Petroleu&. I directed +rs. *pio, the

Per&anent Secretar in the +inistr of +inerals then, to

send our oung graduates ith


6/42

countries that have $een producing *il and )as. I ill

enu&erate so&e of the &istakes e have avoided.

1. +istake nu&$er one to $e avoided as the lo share

of oil for the State of %ganda. 3he Production

Sharing Agree&ents (PSA that e signed, even

$efore e had confir&ed that e had the oil in

co&&ercial uantities, gives us a share of @0B of

the oil produced if ou count the profit oil, the

roalties and the ta'es. If ou co&pare ith other

countries, the situation is that %ganda5s ter&s

co&pare ver ell ith other oil producing countries

like Angola, Indonesia, %S/Alaska, 3hailand, )a$on

and Cietna&, hich are in the range of @0/:0B total

govern&ent take, considering that there are those

countries in the loer range of less than >"B like

+auritius, +adagascar, 3ogo and +orocco. =ater

PSAs, no that e are sure e have the oil, ill $e

even &ore favoura$le.

;


7/42

2. %gandans are the ones ho pioneered the discover

of the oil in the African Rift Calle D fro& 4thiopia,

through ena, 3an6ania, +alai, =ake 3anganika,


8/42

first placeE9 3he could not anser. olloing our

success, *il #o&panies are scra&$ling over one

another in the hole length of the Rift Calle D in

4thiopia, ena, 3an6ania, +alai,


9/42

&ake steel or to &ake fertili6ers apart fro& using it

for cooking. It can also $e used in transportation (as

liuified gas, in industries to &anufacture plastics

and che&icals, etc. 3his is the resource that as

$eing flared in so&e of the African countries. Fet, in

so&e of those countries, there has $een shortage of

electricit. In %ganda, those &istakes ill never

occur. If ou look at #lause !@, of the Petroleu&

(4'ploration, ?evelop&ent and Production


10/42

countrys electricity needs. This is captured in

Objective 3 of the ational Oil and !as "olicy #$$%.

>. 3he other &istake that occurs in &an African *il/

producing countries is the failure to $uild Refineries.Fou find a countr that has $een producing

petroleu& for &an ears, suffering fro& petroleu&

shortages $ecause the e'port crude and i&port

refined products (petroleu&, diesel, aviation fuel,

Heav uel *il (H*, etc. All the associated o$s

are e'ported to foreign countries D the refining o$s.

Fou also lose the $/products. 3hat $arrel of crude

ou carelessl e'port contains petroleu&, diesel,

aviation fuel, paraffin, H* (for electricit generation,

furnace oil, PC# for plastics, $itu&en for tar&acking

our roads, etc. 3his is apart fro& the constituentparts of the associated gas alread &entioned

a$ove.

10


11/42

". 3he a$ove, are &istakes and disadvantages an *il

producing countr, ith an ocean coast/line, ill

suffer if the ust e'port crude. -hen it co&es to a

land/locked countr like %ganda, there are additional

losses e shall suffer if e ust e'port crude. -hen

crude is pu&ped through neigh$ouring countries to

the coast, ou pa hat e call 8transit charges9.

=et us assu&e such a charge of %SG 20 per $arrel for

the out/going crude and another %SG 20 per $arrel

euivalent of the inco&ing finished products, %ganda

ill lose %SG >0 per $arrel. If the price is %SG 100, as

it is toda, e shall get onl %SG ;0 per $arrel for

%ganda. Hoever, since our oil is also a' (ith a

high a' content, the cost of transporting it is ver

high due to the need of continuousl heating the

pipeline. *therise, the petroleu& ill solidif and

stop $eing liuid. 3he cost of heating a $arrel of oil

all the a to the coast is esti&ated at a$out %SG

2.>. 3hat &eans that %ganda5s crude oil ill achieve

a loer price than it should have $ this heating cost.

11


12/42

3herefore, in realit %ganda ill get %SG "@.; per

$arrel even if the orld price is %SG 100.

;. 3here as the issue of the Sta$ili6ation #lause. 3his

atte&pted to sa that %ganda should renounce its

right of pushing up ta'es over *il #o&panies on

account of a false argu&ent that, that ould affect

the level of profita$ilit of the #o&panies since the

ould have included the level of ta'ation in their

profit proections. -e said that is alright. Indeed, a

gentle&an or a lad never changes his or her ord5.

-e did not ant the level of profita$ilit of

#o&panies to go don on account of raised

)overn&ent ta'es. -hat ould, hoever, $e the

situation if the #o&panies ere &aking super/profits

D &uch &ore than the and e had anticipatedE

Should the )overn&ent renounce its right to ta'

such super/profits that could $e done ithout

loering the anticipated profita$ilit levels of these

#o&paniesE *ur anser as o. If there ere

12


13/42

super/profits, the had to $e ta'ed D ithout loering

the profita$ilit levels of #o&panies. In an case,

ho do ou calculate the profita$ilit levelE -e have

to have a scientific for&ula. So&e of the *il

#o&panies did not ant this. 3he si&pl anted to

use the ords 8The "arties shall negotiate in good

faith, &. to restore the 'icensee to the same overall

economic position as e(isted as at the )ffective *ate

of the +greement. -e reected this and de&anded

that the concept of the et Present Calue (PC $e

used to deter&ine the planned level of profita$ilit

and ho that ould $e affected $ an ne ta'

&easures. 3his, apparentl, as a ground/$reaker in

*il issues in Africa.

@. 3he other frontline ill $e the 4nviron&ent. *il is afinite resource. It ill $e e'hausted and finished

after so&e decades. Hoever, our isheries, our

3ouris&, our Agriculture, our Hu&an Resource

17


14/42

(educated and health, our +anufacturing sector ill

go on for ever if e do not &is&anage the&.

3herefore, protecting our 4nviron&ent, not onl

against oil pollution, $ut against all for&s of pollution

(silting of lakes and rivers and environ&ental

degradation (cutting of forests, destroing the

etlands, creating $are/hills, soil erosion,

overgra6ing, etc, is a &ust. 3he las e are

proposing or that have $een passed include the

folloing the 1!!" #onstitutionJ the ational

4nviron&ent Act, #ap 1"7J the ational orestr and

3ree Planting ActJ the -ater Act, #ap 1"2J a&ong

others.

:. 3here is also the uestion of Au'iliar Services D

#atering, #ivil -orks, #learing and orarding,

+edical Services, Air #harters, Securit Services,

-aste +anage&ent and 4nviron&ental

#onsultancies, etc. ?uring the 4'ploration Phase, e

had not, certainl, concentrated on these. Hoever,

1>


15/42

there is no reason h outsiders should take that

&one for those Au'iliar Services aa. As far as

the Au'iliar Services are concerned, #lause 122 of

the Petroleu& (4'ploration, ?evelop&ent and

Production


16/42

it is e'hausti$le, ust as is the case ith all e'tractive

industries. 3herefore, the &one fro& *il should

onl $e used for creating a dura$le capacit for the

countr so that future generations ould also $enefit

fro& this resource. -hat are the ele&ents of this

dura$le capacitE 3hese ele&ents are

i 4lectrifing the hole countr (e need, at least,

>0,000 +-. *ur present level of electricit

generation is :12 +-. In 1!:;, the electricit

generation as onl ;0 +-. 3hat level of

electrification ill ena$le us to run a &odern

econo& ith or ithout oil of our on. Mapan is a

ver prosperous countr ithout oil, ithout &inerals

and ithout adeuate agriculture. It has got a highl

educated and skilled hu&an resource (population.

ii -e shall reva&p the raila sste& and up/grade it

to the standard gauge so that e are linked ith

South Sudan, #ongo and Randa. It costs %SG >,"00

17/42

to transport a >0/ft container fro& +o&$asa to

a&pala $ road, hile the sa&e container costs

%SG 7,100 $ rail fro& +o&$asa to a&pala.

3herefore, road transport is a$out 70B &ore

e'pensive than rail transport. It is unise to $ase

our transport sste& on this e'pensive &ode.

iii -e need to support Scientific 4ducation and

Innovation so that the $rain/poer of the %gandan

hu&an resource $eco&es the ne per&anent $ase

of the future &odern econo& of %ganda. Reling

on, &ainl, hu&an &uscle, the traditional %gandan

societ as $ased on the indigenous econo& of

Agriculture and Artisanship. 3he colonial and the

neo/colonial econo& of %ganda, until the R+ ti&e,

used onl a portion of Agriculture (coffee, cotton, tea,

sugarcane and to$acco. 3he rest as neglected D

&ilk, $eef, $ananas, &ai6e, &illet, potatoes, fruits,

etc. 3hat is h, until the R+ ti&e, e ere in the

ridiculous position of i&porting &ilk fro& ena,

1@


18/42

Sit6erland, ?en&ark, etc. 4ven toda, e are still

i&porting so&e of the fruit uices fro& ena, South

Africa, etc. *ne of the R+5s strategic goals has

alas $een to diversif the econo& of %ganda

aa fro& ust depending on Agriculture and

+inerals (all undersold as ra/&aterials to a &odern

econo& poered $ the scientificall e&poered

alas had the intention and also the capacit to

fight Idi A&in9.

had the cause (sabaabu. -hat e alas lacked

as the 8uwezo9 (capacit. %ganda5s *il and )as

has given us that capacit (uwezo. 4ven $efore e

had the *il and )as, e had used our scarce

resources to start %P4, %S4 and

)overn&ent ill pa the& slol using our e'isting

headaches.

v 3he other use is to utili6e the *il &one to sta$ili6e

our Agriculture $ providing irrigation D so that our

Agriculture, one ele&ent of our dura$le ealth, is

i&&uni6ed for ever against the erraticness of the

to attract oil co&paniesJ and

(iii 3o &onitor e'ploration ork undertaken $ oil

co&panies.

Hoever, ith the discover of oil, the R+ )overn&ent

e&$arked on a ne task of for&ulating a co&prehensive

polic to guide the develop&ent of the sector. 3he

ational *il and )as Polic for %ganda as, therefore, put

in place in 200:. 3he Polic gives a clear road &ap on

ho oil in %ganda ill $e produced, ho value ill $e

added to it and ho petroleu& revenues ill $e used to

create lasting value to our societ. It is i&portant to note

that there are a nu&$er of countries in Africa hich have

produced oil for a long ti&e and do not have

co&prehensive oil and gas policies up to no, hich is a

recipe of resource curse.


27/42

3his stand of defending %ganda5s interests is not popular

ith the usual parasitic interests outside Africa. Hence,

the pressure ou have seen recentl in respect of *il.

3here is no a &ultiplicit of )*s on *il such as

Advocates #oalition for ?evelop&ent and 4nviron&ent

(A#*?4, AP4, )lo$al Rights Alert, #entre for

#onstitutional )overnance, Athiego, the *il oru& $ the

Hons. Sekiku$o, iaga$a and others, the so/called

Parlia&entar oru& on *il and )as (P*). All these

are funded $ e'ternal interests. Se&inars are held for

our +Ps, especiall. 3he recent circus and desperate

actions in Parlia&ent, the insults $ Hon. Sekiku$o and

his group against the )overn&ent, are designs to

under&ine the fir& stand of the R+ in defence of the

e'hausti$le resources of %ganda, especiall *il and )as.

3he circus on clause !, for instance, of the Petroleu& Act,

a$out hether the +inister or the Authorit should have

the poer to license and revoke licenses, is actuall not

2@


28/42

a$out the +inister. It is a$out the strong group of

Scientists that e have created in the +inistr of 4nerg.

3hose ho ere illogicall and desperatel opposing this

are $eing financed $ foreign interests through A#*?4.

3heir &ain reason is that the are tring to avoid our

Scientists ho have $locked &an cri&inal sche&es.

*ne of the latest is hat the call recovera$le oil. 3his

&eans the oil ou ill pu&p out of the ground co&pared

to the total oil in the ground. In their first ield

?evelop&ent Plan, one of the *il #o&panies proposed

that the recover onl @B of the oil, leaving !7B in the

groundOO *ur Scientists reected it.3he highest recover

rate internationall is a$out ;0B hile the average

internationall is a$out 70B. Hoever, one of the

#o&panies as proposing to recover (&eaning to pu&p

out onl @B. 3his is the struggle e are engaged in.

Apart fro& anting to avoid the Scientists, the sa$oteurs,

orking on $ehalf of foreign interests, do not ant our

Petroleu& Progra&&e to succeed. 3he success of our

2:


29/42

Petroleu& Progra&&e in the ne't fe ears ill &ean

financial independence and financial &uscle for %ganda.

3hat is a orr to the internal sa$oteurs and their foreign

$ackers. A#*?4 has organi6ed the so/called se&inars at

the folloing places o$e =odge in Paraa, three in

+unono, to ti&es at I&perial Roale, I&perial

the& in the )overn&ent Ranch at Ruhengere. I could

not accept such cattle on & far&s as & personal

propert. 4ventuall, I opened the Presidential ar& at

. I use the&, as President, to

donate the& for charita$le purposes. If I could not accept

gifts fro& %gandans, ho &uch &ore reprehensi$le is it

to accept &one, gifts and favours fro& foreigners for

personal useE 3he &align&ent $ internal sa$oteurs

orking on $ehalf of e'ternal parasitic interests &ust $e

stopped $ legal, political and &edia actions $ the R+

and )overn&ent leaders.

3he creation of foreign funded Parlia&entar ora that

are parallel to the #onstitutional #o&&ittees of

Parlia&ent, such as the atural Resources #o&&ittee, is

so&ething that ou need to look at carefull. -h have a

foru& for oil and gas hen ou alread have the

70


31/42

Parlia&entar #o&&ittee on the sa&e &andated $ the

#onstitutionE It is these foreign funded forces that are

used to derail our %ganda centric approach and,

instead, push for the foreign centric approach. 3his

circus, for instance, a$out the poers of the +inister.

-h ould so&e$od spend so &uch ti&e pushing to

over/involve the Authorit, hich is a regulator $od,

independent in its functions to ensure ualit, in licensing

and revoking of licensesE 3he for&ulation that /the

Minister will grant and revo0e licenses on the

recommendation of the +uthority ai&ed at diverting

the Authorit aa fro& their ork (control ualit of oil

activities, interfere in polic decisions hich so&eti&es

guides licensing (not to license co&panies fro& countries

hostile to %ganda to take an e'a&ple and could create

paralsis $eteen the +inister and the Authorit. If the

interest of the pro&oters of the circus on #lause ! as to

involve &ore $rains in the licensing, that is alread

achieved $ the +inister depending on our Scientists to

guide hi& or her. Indeed, Article 1@> (7($ of the 1!!"

#onstitution of the Repu$lic of %ganda gives the #ivil

Servants i.e. Per&anent Secretaries (PS and his or her

staff the responsi$ilit of tendering advice to the

responsi$le &inister in respect of the $usiness of the

depart&ent or &inistrJ then, there is the #a$inet, the

President and, ulti&atel, Parlia&ent through their

oversight role. 3he Authorit is also involved, not in a

parallel a, $ut, rather, in a har&oni6ed a. 3he final

version of the Petroleu& (4'ploration, ?evelop&ent and

33/42

responsible for monitoring and regulating e(ploration,

development and production of petroleum in 2ganda.

4ver$od is involved $ut in a har&oni6ed a not

likel to cause paralsis, un/coordinated &ove&ents and

gaps for distorting the develop&ent of our oil and gas. It

is the Hon. Ssekiku$os ho anted to distort the

develop&ent of our oil and gas in the interests of foreign

interests, not the R+ )overn&ent ho discovered the

oil and have correctl shepherded it to here it is no

7." $illion $arrels confir&ed in the ground in onl >0B of

the area e e'pect to have the oil.

#o&&on sense de&ands that no foreigner or agent of

foreigners should ever involve hi&self or herself in our

politics. If foreign interference and do&ination ere a

source of prosperit, then, Africa should have $een the

&ost developed continent $ 1!;0. At that ti&e, Africa,

for "00 ears (ever since Casco ?a )a&a ent around

the #ape of )ood Hope in 1>!:, had gone through all

77


34/42

for&s of foreign &eddling, do&ination, etc. 3he &enu5

ent fro& looting, slave trade, genocide to colonialis&.

3herefore, foreign interests tring to &eddle in our

politics and plans is not $eneficial. 3he foreigners alas

get it rong. 3he, for instance, elco&ed Idi A&in and

supported hi&. -e opposed hi& fro& the ord go. -ho

turned out to $e rong and ho turned out to $e rightE

3he outsiders ere rong, e ere right. -hen e ere

outsiders, orking ith a %P# &e&$er, Pulkol, opposed

us. ara&oa is no peaceful and the are $eginning to

produce their on food. I have told ou that foreigners

supported Idi A&in and e opposed hi&. -hat, then,

ould have happened if e ere like in so&e of the other

African countries ho listen to foreignersE -here ould

%ganda $e todaE 3his is h co&&on sense should tell

us that listening to foreigners instead of listening to our

on people, ou ill, &ost likel, end up ith rong

results. It is not ust co&&on sense and histor that

for$id us fro& orking for foreigners. *ur #onstitution, in
