{UAH} Tanzania’s Magufuli pushes for quick start to Uganda oil pipeline as Kenya tries to salvage deal | MG Africa Mobile

TOTAL SA has funds to build a pipeline linking oil fields in landlocked Uganda with a port on Tanzania's Indian Ocean coast, the Tanzanian government said, after its president met with an official from the French company.

Total's Vice President for East Africa, Javier Rielo, "assured President John Magufuli that the company will begin construction of the crude-oil pipeline project from Uganda to the Tanga port as quickly as possible because there is money for the project," the presidency said Monday in an e-mailed statement.
