The Member of Parliament elect for Busiro east Medard Lubega Segoona has urged government to involve Bunyoro Kitara kingdom into oil sharing deal.

Segona told journalists that the kingdom of Bunyoro should have a percentage on the oil sharing mentioned in the oil agreement  since it owns the land where oil is found so as the oil resources benefit people of Bunyoro.

He says by only considering the central government and local government it clearly shows that the government and oil companies are leaving out the local people.

Segona says that if government continues with the current arrangements Uganda might face the disasters which comes with oil resource like Nigeria where people in oil producing areas stage wars in order to benefit from oil resources.

Segona also expressed concern about how oil money will be spent without legal framework. He says that Uganda has started getting money yet there is no law to manage it.

He says that government should come and explain the circumstances under which Uganda is spending the money and called upon government to quickly enact the law on oil and gas.

According to reports government will get a share of 85% oil resources and local government  get 15%.
