The State has backed Tullow Oil in the case where the local community in Turkana is seeking billions of shillings in compensation from the British firm for damages linked to the oil project in South Lokichar.
Tullow said the Energy Regulatory and Petroleum Authority (Epra) and the Attorney-General filed responses with the court, where the two denied that the oil project has destroyed the environment and livelihoods of the people living close to the project area.
