Trucks that will move oil from Turkana oilfields in northern Kenya to Mombasa port this month will spend one week on the road, indicating the high cost and logistical difficulties of the early petroleum export plan.
British explorer Tullow Oil, the developer of the Turkana oilfields, Monday said the 50 trucks will be escorted by police through the remote and harsh terrain in northern Kenya to ward off any possible attacks by bandits.
