Petroleum and Mining Cabinet Secretary John Munyes has said that oil exploration is still on in Kenya and that Tullow Oil has not withdrawn from the country as it is been alleged by some people.

Speaking to journalists, Mr Munyes said oil production and transportation were slightly hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic and natural calamities like floods.

He said these challenges stopped the early oil pilot scheme (EOPS) after the road connecting Turkana and West Pokot was swept away by heavy floods and landslides, disconnecting the A1 road. He also cited challenges in the global oil market.

In addition, CS Munyes said they have formed a consortium of players known Project Oil Kenya comprising Africa Oil, Total Kenya, Tullow Oil and the national government which will see Kenya realise its dream of joining oil exporting countries in the world.
