Signing of EACOP is a triple victory for Uganda, Museveni says

The historic event for the $3.5 billion project took place at state house Entebbe.
The key agreements signed include; the Host government agreement between Total E&P and governments of Uganda and Tanzania , the shareholders agreement between all the shareholders plus the Tariff and transportation agreement.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, Museveni said he is satisfied that the project will make a modest contribution to the development of Tanzania much as it will not compensate for what they did to liberate Uganda from Amin.
He says much as Kenya is Uganda’s brother country, Tanzania played a unique role for Uganda.
