Rift Valley Railways misses out on lucrative Turkana oil exports deal

Rift Valley Railways (RVR) missed out on a lucrative opportunity to transport Kenya’s first batch of crude oil exports due to delays in meeting key deadlines, the government has said.

Kenya intends to commence small-scale oil export by next June. Originally, the oil was to be moved by road from Lokichar to Eldoret before being transported by rail to Mombasa.
