Kenyan authorities have yet to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Turkana community and investors to unlock the transport stalemate that has blocked movement of the oil to Mombasa for storage in the wake of last month’s disruptions, the company at the centre of the petroleum exploration said yesterday.

Tullow Oil said resumption of the job is now dependent on the MoU that the Petroleum ministry is yet to sign with Turkana leaders, and the oil companies on the ground.
