RE: Three centuries of oil in Kenya "Kenya imports all its oil, so securing a domestic energy supply and becoming a hub for area producers would boost an economy forecast to grow 6 percent this year. Officials in Nairobi are proposing a $5 billion plan to build a network of pipelines to a terminal on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast. Tankers would then ship the oil to customers in China, India, and other Asian countries.
“The interest of this country is to fast-track this process,” said Martin Heya, commissioner for petroleum."
The faster the better.
