Uganda's Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Ruth Nankabirwa, has urged petroleum marketing companies not to increase pump prices due to the Middle East crisis, emphasizing there is no justification for such hikes.

• Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) assures steady supplies, stating that even if the Middle East route becomes inaccessible, alternative sourcing methods are in place.
• The Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Ruth Nankabirwa, directly appealed to the companies.
• Uganda imports approximately 2.5 billion liters of petroleum products annually, valued at about 2 billion U.S. dollars.
