"What happens today is that any of you who has ever used the routs from Malaba to Uganda or Mombasa to Kampala will notice  that one in every ten cars on that rout is a fuel truck. we are also  fortunate that there has been more Accidents by these trucks"- Mukula.

Mukula noted that Mahathi is going to be the game changer in a short period of time.

It should be noted that One of the ship constructed by Mahathi Infra Uganda LTD, bringing in 4.6 million liters of fuel in one travel and Ugandans consumption of fuel is 5 million liters everyday.

"What you need to know is that, before fuel has been arriving in mombasa by ship and then it is transported to Kampala by truck, Mahathi is going to change that because fuel will kam direct from kisumu, be Pumped in mahathi terminals, then to Uganda in Kawuku, where other stake holders like Vivo Energy, Total, Shell, Mogas, Kobil, Orex etc, well collect it from Kawuku cutting on costs and this may lead to a reduction in fuel prices"- Mukula noted.
