boosting its storage facilities as a buffer to the market and even may
even expand acreage in Busia to store unprocessed crude oil from Uganda
to top up during low production periods. I can see the price at above

where are u leaving NOCK?
NOCK in Uganda???
The refinery Uganda is building is a joint venture between the COW (coalition of the willing), Kenya will be a shareholder in that.
To my Knowledge the only stake the GOK will have in the refinery is the Pipeline which would be a two way. However EAC would be better of perhaps only refining destillates for local consumption and the surplus crude export. Since competing with the likes of reliance in the distillates market might not be so easy.
As of KK being the leading petrol boy on the East African scene that is almost true especially with its vast assets and local shareholders. A good comparison in a small way would be BP and the storage assets at Cushing for WTI and the Britain for Brent.
