Guverinoma n’abatumiza ibikomoka kuri peteroli barateganya kongera ububiko bwa lisansi mu rwego rwo kurinda igihugu ibura ry’ibikomoka kuri peteroli

Guverinoma y’u Rwanda hamwe n’abatumiza ibikomoka kuri peteroli barimo gutegura ishoramari rinini mu kubaka no kwagura ububiko bwa lisansi na mazutu, mu rwego rwo kongera ibigega byihariye by’iki gihugu. Ibi biri gukorwa mu gihe ibiciro bya peteroli ku isoko mpuzamahanga bikomeje kuzamuka, ndetse n’uruhererekane rw’itangwa ryayo rukaba rwahungabanyijwe n’intambara n’amakimbirane ari mu Burasirazuba bwo Hagati.

Ku wa Gatanu tariki ya 5 Kamena, ikigo ngenzuramikorere (RURA) cyatangaje ibiciro bishya by’ibikomoka kuri peteroli. Muri ayo mavugurura, igiciro cya mazutu cyazamutseho amafaranga 722 ku litiro, kigera ku mafaranga 2,927, mu gihe igiciro cya lisansi kitahindutse, kiguma ku mafaranga 2,938 ku litiro.

Ibi byakurikiye ivugururwa ry’ibiciro ryabaye ku wa 17 Mata, aho lisansi yazamutse iva ku mafaranga 2,303 ikagera ku mafaranga 2,938 ku litiro, mu gihe mazutu yagumishijwe ku mafaranga 2,205 ku litiro kugira ngo hafashwe urwego rw’ubwikorezi n’itwarwa ry’ibicuruzwa.

N’ubwo ibiciro byazamutse, Minisitiri w’Intebe, Justin Nsengiyumva, yavuze ko Guverinoma ikomeje gutanga nkunganire kuri mazutu kugira ngo abaturage batikorerwa umutwaro wose w’izamuka ry’ibiciro ku isoko mpuzamahanga.

Yagize ati: “Muri kiriya giciro cya mazutu harimo nkunganire ya Leta ingana na 18%. Mu by’ukuri, igiciro cya mazutu cyagombaga kuba amafaranga 3,581 ku litiro, ariko twatangaje igiciro cyo hasi kingana na 2,927.”

Ikiguzi cyo gutumiza peteroli cyazamutse cyane

Perezida w’Ishyirahamwe ry’Abatumiza Peteroli mu Rwanda (ASSIMPER) akaba n’Umuyobozi Mukuru wa MEREZ Petroleum Ltd, Eric Mutaganda, yavuze ko amakimbirane yo mu Burasirazuba bwo Hagati yagize ingaruka zikomeye ku bucuruzi bwa peteroli kuko ari ho u Rwanda rukura igice kinini cy’ibikomoka kuri peteroli.

Yasobanuye ko ibiciro byo gutumiza peteroli byazamutse cyane mu mezi ashize.

Ati: “Muri Gashyantare twishyuraga hafi amadolari 300 kuri toni imwe ya peteroli. Ubu icyo giciro kigeze hafi ku madolari 1,650 kuri toni.”

Yongeyeho ko iri zamuka ryatumye hakenerwa imari yikubye inshuro nyinshi kugira ngo bakomeze gutumiza peteroli mu bwinshi busanzwe.

Mu gukemura iki kibazo, abatumiza peteroli bakomeje gukorana n’amabanki y’ubucuruzi ndetse na Banki Nkuru y’u Rwanda kugira ngo babone inguzanyo, inyandiko z’ingwate z’ubwishyu (Letters of Credit), n’amadevize akenewe mu gutumiza ibikomoka kuri peteroli.

Mu mezi ya Werurwe na Mata, urwego rwa peteroli rwahuye n’ibibazo bikomeye byo gutinda kw’ibicuruzwa ku Cyambu cya Dar es Salaam muri Tanzania, ari na cyo gicamo hafi 95% by’ibikomoka kuri peteroli byinjira mu Rwanda.

Mutaganda yavuze ko ibyo bibazo byatumye ingano ya peteroli yatumizwaga igabanukaho hagati ya 15% na 20%.

Ati: “Werurwe na Mata byari ibihe bikomeye kubera ko amato yazanaga peteroli yatinze kugera ku Cyambu cya Dar es Salaam. Ariko ubu ibintu byongeye gusubira ku murongo.”

Abacuruzi ba peteroli banahuye n’izamuka ry’ibiciro byo gutwara ibicuruzwa, amafaranga y’inyongera yo kubigura ndetse n’ihangana rikomeye hagati y’ibihugu byo mu karere byashakaga kubona peteroli nkeya yari ihari.

U Rwanda rugiye kwagura ibigega bya peteroli

Mu rwego rwo kongera umutekano w’ingufu zikoreshwa mu gihugu, Guverinoma n’abikorera barateganya kubaka ibigega byinshi bishya byo kubikamo peteroli.

Mutaganda yavuze ko kuri ubu u Rwanda rufite ubushobozi bwo kubika litiro miliyoni 110 za peteroli, ariko gahunda y’igihe kirekire igamije kugera nibura kuri litiro miliyoni 400.

MEREZ Petroleum irateganya kubaka ikigega gishya gifite ubushobozi bwo kubika litiro miliyoni 20 za peteroli i Nyacyonga mu Karere ka Gasabo.

Yavuze ko bategereje icyemezo cya Umujyi wa Kigali kugira ngo ibikorwa byo kubaka bitangire.

Yasobanuye ko kongera ubushobozi bwo kubika peteroli bizafasha igihugu kugura peteroli nyinshi igihe ibiciro biri hasi no kugira ububiko buhagije mu gihe habaye ikibazo ku isoko mpuzamahanga.

Ati: “Ubu ububiko bwacu ntiburenza ukwezi n’igice cy’ibikomoka kuri peteroli. Ibyo ni ikibazo gikomeye igihe habaye ihungabana ku rwego rw’isi.”

Umuyobozi Mukuru wa Société Pétrolière (SP) Ltd, Claudien Habimana, yavuze ko ikigo ayobora kiri gukora ubushakashatsi bwo kumenya ingano y’ububiko bushya bukenewe n’ibizakenerwa kugira ngo bwubakwe.

Yagize ati: “Turimo gukora inyigo izagaragaza ubushobozi bukenewe n’ibisabwa byose. Biteganyijwe ko izarangira mbere y’uko uyu mwaka urangira.”

Ku ruhande rwa Minisiteri y’Ibikorwa Remezo, nayo irateganya gushora amafaranga menshi mu kubaka ibigega byihariye bya peteroli na gaze ikoreshwa mu guteka (LPG).

Biteganyijwe ko Leta izashora miliyari 8 z’amafaranga y’u Rwanda mu kubaka ibigega bya peteroli i Rusororo, ndetse na miliyari 2 mu kubaka ibigega bya gaz.

Uyu mushinga mugari uteganya kubaka ibigega bya peteroli na gaz bifite ubushobozi bwo kubika hamwe litiro zigera kuri miliyoni 60 mu Murenge wa Rusororo, Akarere ka Gasabo.

Biteganyijwe ko igice cy’umushinga kijyanye na peteroli kizatwara hafi miliyari 360 z’amafaranga y’u Rwanda kikazarangira mu mwaka wa 2036, mu gihe ibigega bya gaz byo bizatwara miliyari 214 bikazarangira mu mwaka wa 2047.

Nk’uko Minisiteri y’Ubucuruzi n’Inganda ibiteganya, u Rwanda rugamije kongera ubushobozi bwo kubika peteroli bukava kuri litiro miliyoni 110 zihagije amezi abiri, bukagera nibura kuri litiro miliyoni 320 mu myaka ibiri iri imbere.

Intego ni ukugira ibigega byafasha igihugu gukomeza kubona ibikomoka kuri peteroli mu gihe cy’amezi atandatu mu gihe habaye ikibazo cy’itangwa ryabyo ku rwego mpuzamahanga.
