The government through the ministry of energy and petroleum has drafted a policy that among other key issues will help to attract investors into the oil and gas exploration in the country.
The National Petroleum Policy draft (2024), which is currently at public participation stage, is geared towards sustainable exploration, exploitation, utilization and management of petroleum resources and products to contribute towards Kenya's economic development.
Once implemented, the policy will further ensure that there is good management of revenue collected from oil and gas, promote equitable sharing of petroleum benefits and enhance usage of the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the country.
Petroleum resources, which include crude oil and natural gas, are found in sedimentary basins.
