Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), the country’s standard’s prefects, wants oil industry players in the country, particularly fuel and lubricant dealers, to monitor their own adherence to quality standards.
Before regulator’s enforcement, the sector prefect is of the view that self-regulation is the first line of defence.
Oil Industry analysts say if the players adhere to self-regulation, it will provide perfect checks and balances ahead of any other enforcement measures by the regulator.
When contacted earlier, the UNBS spokesperson, Ms Sylvia Kirabo, told this publication that “We encourage self-regulation among the fuel and lubricant dealers.”
That, according to Ms Kirabo doesn’t keep them away from the field, saying: “Our quality monitoring teams are in the field managing the situation.”
