British exploration firm Tullow says it backs the move to export 2,000 barrels of crude oil per day by road, saying the Early Oil Pilot Scheme (EOPS) will give them the vital information they need for full scale production.

The firm says its joint venture agreement with African Oil, Maersk Companies and the Kenyan government gave the greenlight to the programme which has in recent months faced opposition from some fronts.
