The Petroleum Authority of Uganda has decried continued false propaganda on oil and gas sector that they said is making it hard to attract investors.
While leading a delegation of officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs including Uganda 's ambassadors to China, France, UAE and Tanzania to a tour of Kingfisher oil fields, Kabalega international airport and industrial park in Kikuube, officials from PAU said negative propaganda by some individuals is hurting the country's oil sector.
He noted that they have a challenge of external forces who have since intensified their efforts of spreading false propaganda about the sector, with the latest claim being that the sector is affecting 230 rivers and death of wild animals. "The only way we can address this is to counter them in conferences because they have gone a little serious to the extent of taking Ugandans abroad to go and talk ill about the gas.Now when we join some of these conferences, we ask them to quantity their statements but they shy away, meaning it is time to have intellectual debates to fight the propaganda ," Ssekatawa said
