Understanding the PFMA (Amendment) Bill 2021.


Parliament this week passed more two important legislations geared towards unlocking Uganda's petroleum Industry. But what do these new legislations mean?

(Amendment) Bill 2021
The Public Finance Management (Amendment) Act 2021 on the seeks to ensure that the UNOC as Government of Uganda’s nominated state participant for oil activities across the upstream and midstream sectors of the value chain can meet the related obligations.

The PFMA amendment therefore seeks to allow UNOC to have access to the proceeds from the sale of interest from the crude oil due to it to meet its various financial obligations in relation to its participation in the upstream and midstream projects. These include obligations in the Production Sharing Agreements, the Joint Operating Agreements, the Host Government Agreement and the Tariff and Transportation Agreement among others.
