Tanzania's President John Magufuli has suggested to that his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni might consider removing senior figures in the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) if a dispute over taxation threatens to derail the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).
The two presidents met in Dar es Salaam at a business forum, during which they acknowledged that a fiscal wrangle in Uganda delaying the upstream Tilenga and Kingfisher projects may also impact EACOP's timetable as shareholder relationships in the projects are integrated.
