Kenya has to rethink Turkana oil and forget about export for now
And go for small modular refinery - put 10 refineries in Turkana each with 30,000 litres capacity - and we become oil sufficient.
Rather than stupidly tracking crude oil - build small refineries like this
-
We use to have a refinery in Mombasa meaning Kenya already has the capacity and know-how of building refineries anywhere on its territory. To this day, I have never understood why the Mombasa refinery was shut down just like that!

They said it was old and inefficient - which made sense because Indians refine very cheaply. But now equation changes because we are not importing crude to refine - we getting our own crude and refining - however inefficient it still cheaper.
Ruto gov should get 10 small refineries in turkana oil wells - and build a product pipeline to eldoret - and fuel can be transmitted to all major cities by KPL.
