I have many times in this column advocated for focused efforts to commercialise Turkana oil , an extractive resource that can significantly accelerate gross domestic product growth while uplifting socio-economic lives of communities in northwestern Kenya.
Discovery in 2012 of 120,000 barrels per day of oil in Turkana, and later export of early oil were welcomed with excitement. Then it all went silent, leaving massive national wealth below Turkana terrain.
