Kenya continues to be a pace and trend setter in the renewable energy field with more and more groundbreaking infrastructure projects being churned out of the Kenyan economy while Uganda with its vast potential continues to lie behind. What could be the cause of this? is it a lack of the will for renewables by the decision maker and planners, or could it be that the decision makers are not confident enough to make decisions due to fear of offending the political status quo? or could it be that the environment and business regime for such projects in Uganda is not good enough to attract such large scale investments in non hydro renewables?

The Karuhanga oil bribery scandal allegations, much as they may not have been true, have played a very big role in creating transparency in the local oil sector with alto more information being presented by various stakeholders than had been freely given out in the past! that's one upside to the scandal as with transparency, there will b more stakeholder participation and benefit.
