{UAH} Uganda says Tanzania offers to buy stake in its refinery | News by Country | Reuters

KAMPALA, April 22 (Reuters) - Tanzania wants an 8 percent stake in Uganda's planned oil refinery, a Ugandan minister said on Friday, a move that could be designed to boost Tanzania's bid to secure a pipeline route for Ugandan crude over a rival pitch by Kenya.

"Tanzania has offered to take its full share of the 8 percent offered in the refinery," Irene Muloni, Uganda's energy minister, told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference. She said she was awaiting written confirmation.
