Kenya has been forced to scale down the size of the crude oil pipeline from the oilfields in Turkana in the north to Lamu on the Coast after the exit of Uganda from the project in order to cut down on crude transportation costs.
The diameter of the proposed 890km Lokichar-Lamu crude oil export pipeline will be significantly scaled down; the government has already signed a development agreement with Tullow Oil and its partners for a joint venture for its construction.
