Kenya has rejected a fraction of the compensation sought by British oil explorer Tullow Oil and its partners amounting to Sh16 billion ($150 million) for the firm’s eight-year work in the Turkana County oil fields.

Tullow has disclosed that the government has dismissed the Sh16 billion out of the Sh204 billion compensation bill that the firms had presented to the Ministry of Petroleum.
