Kenya has struck the second fresh oil find in Turkana fields since the year began, taking the country closer to hitting a billion barrels of recoverable reserves.

British explorer Tullow Oil, the developer of oilfields in northern Kenya, on Wednesday announced it had struck 75 metres of oil in two zones at the Emekuya-1 well in Block 13T of the Lokichar basin, Turkana.
