Rejected petition Uganda's Oil for the Ugandan People.

More details

In the wake of the 'Kony: 2012' campaign, it is thought that the UK / US may send military aid into Uganda. It is feared that this aid may encourage the financial exploitation of the Ugandan Oil fields. This petition aims to persuade the UK government to...

-Send UK diplomats and regulating bodies into Uganda to ensure that oil trade in Uganda gains high levels of 'transparency' and accountability.

It is thought that this will enable the Ugandan state to minimize the chance of internal and external oil trade corruption. In turn, it is thought that the Ugandan state will be able to develop more prosperously.
