A crisis is looming in Turkana County after five critical social investment projects funded by exploration firm Tullow Oil were repossessed by a contractor following a court order.

The projects are a boys dormitory at Kainuk Mixed Secondary School on the banditry-prone boundary of Turkana and West Pokot counties; a dormitory at Uhuru Girls Secondary School; a science laboratory at Katilu Girls Secondary School; two classrooms at Karoge Primary School; a hospital in Lokichar town; and a dispensary at Kasuroi Trading Centre.
