Aahidi kujenga kiwanda ndani ya miaka 4-5 ikiwa serikali zitakubaliana.
Baada ya mpango wa pamoja wa Afrika Mashariki kutangazwa, bilionea Aliko Dangote ameahidi kuongoza uwekezaji wa kiwanda cha kusafisha mafuta katika ukanda huo.
Dangote alisema kuwa anaweza kuiga kiwanda chake kikubwa nchini Nigeria chenye uwezo wa kuchakata mapipa 650,000 kwa siku, ikiwa serikali za Kenya, Tanzania na majirani zao zitatoa msaada.
Mpango huo unalenga kuondoa utegemezi wa uagizaji wa mafuta na kuimarisha usalama wa nishati katika Afrika Mashariki.
Wakati huo huo, Uganda tayari imeanza mipango yake ya kujenga kiwanda chake cha kusafisha mafuta kwa kushirikiana na wawekezaji wa kimataifa.
