The preliminary survey was finalised in February this year.

In Summary

• The 824km pipeline is a key component of the Sh 2.5 trillion Lapsset project whose construction is ongoing in Kililana, Lamu West.

• The second survey will help establish the amount of compensation required for each of the affected persons.

The second-phase survey of land earmarked for the Lokichar-Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline has been postponed indefinitely because of the coronavirus.

The 824km pipeline is a key component of the Sh2.5 trillion Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport Corridor (Lapsset) project whose construction is ongoing in Kililana, Lamu West.

The pipeline cuts through six counties – Turkana, Samburu, Isiolo, Meru, Garissa and Lamu.

The preliminary survey was conducted between December 2019 and February this year by a multi-agency team of surveyors from the National Lands Commission (NLC), the Lapsset Corridor Development Authority (LCDA) and other relevant state agencies.

The second phase was to start in April.
