Kenya will Monday start British accredited training of oil pipeline welders to ease skills shortage that forced the country to ship in Chinese, Nigerian and Lebanese workers.

The World Bank will fund the welders’ training ahead of commissioning of the new Sh43 billion Nairobi-Mombasa pipeline and the construction of the 820-kilometre crude oil pipeline between Lokichar and Lamu expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021.
