LETTERS: Turkana oil should be a blessing, not a curse Kenya

On June 3,2018, Kenya made history after President Uhuru Kenyatta flagged off the first trucks carrying crude oil from Turkana oil field to Mombasa for storage in tanks awaiting exportation. This prepares Kenya to be one of the oil producing countries in the world as very soon the oil will be accumulated enough and will be ready for export.

As the trucks run from the Upper Rift arid region down the Rift Valley through Nairobi, Eastern and finally the coast region, it carries the hope of all Kenyans as many see it as a big step towards making Kenya develop for the better.
