Dr Kizza Besigye has revealed that he has handed back Total Fuel Station in Nsambya to the company (Total).
“After more than 27 years of running Nsambya Total Station as a Dealer, I handed back the Station to Total on 19 Apr 2023. The Station has reopened under a new dealer,” Besigye said in a statement.
The former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) President added: “I thank Total Energies (U) for the partnership, while it lasted. I also thank the staff who helped run the Station.”
Contrary to some reports, Besigye says “Nsambya Total Station has been the only Fuel/ Service Station that I run.”
He added that he has never owned the property; it’s always been Total property.
“I was only a “Dealer”- operator of the business,” he said following questions from his followers on Twitter.
He further added: “It’s the only Station I was operating. Some propagandists have been saying Equatorial Hotel &other properties in Kla are mine- lies!”
Many Ugandans congratulated him for running the business for over two decades and for being honest.
