11 months if non of the corrupt Kenian contractors form part of the constructors!

What if they created a joint venture / company to own the pipeline - with 50% shareholding from each country. I would be very uncomfatable with my neighbour having 100% ownership of a water pipe passing through my plot

Yes they have options but does that mean we cede some of our sovereignity. We need to know the full details of this agreement. Almost certain Kiraitu was armtwisted in some way

Have you ever wondered why there is no road connecting KEnya to SS??

I want to look at the positive side of it and also remind everyone that Kenya has been commencing the LAPPSET Transport corridor since 2008. Not even the ground has been broken towards this end. All we do is talk, argue, litigate and basically go round and round in circles. In the meantime we are not the only interested party in the SS oil dollars. The GOSS has been seeing all this. Uganda has struck a deal with Tz to have its oil pass through Tanga instead of Mombasa or the illusory Lamu. Why? We remain with plans that never take off.DRC is following in the steps of Uganda.

Soon we'll be playing catch up. So I'd rather the deal which might awaken our attention to move with speed and urgency.

Why should Kenya waste money building pipeline for SS? What do we do with it[pipeline] once the oil dries up there or we have issues with SS? They should spend their money building it and pay rates. About sovereignty, what sovereignty are we losing here? Gazprom has been building gas pipelines throughout Europe. NKT!
