A new upgraded petroleum pipeline designed to improve supply of fuel to the hinterlands and regional export destinations is 80 per cent complete and on course for commissioning mid this year, the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) has said.

KPC’s Managing Director Joe Sang said the Nairobi-Mombasa oil pipeline, which is scheduled for completion end of April, will enable the country fulfil its fuel demand, which is projected to be 6.8 billion litres by 2020.
