Lawmakers have reignited efforts to kickstart the country's long-delayed oil export ambitions after years of stalled progress since the trail export in 2019.
Members of Parliament have set a June 2025 deadline for the Energy Ministry and British firm Tullow Oil to finalise plans for the Turkana oil fields.
This push comes as the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced a Ksh7.80 increase in petrol prices, a move that is likely to spark mixed reactions among consumers and industry players.
The National Assembly's Liaison Committee, in its recent report, directed the Energy Ministry and EPRA to fast-track the approval of Tullow's Field Development Plan (FDP) and secure a strategic investor for the Turkana oil project.
