Primefuels Holdings Ltd, based in the highly-secretive Guernsey Channel Islands, has leased the equipment for trucking of crude from the Turkana oil fields. Sunil Edupuganti, the operations manager, told The Standard of his excitement about the actual start of the crude oil transportation. The President admitted in Turkana that crude oil trucking under the Early Oil Pilot Scheme would be a money-burning venture. The Ministry of Energy has however defended the programme, saying it is a worthy experiment to gauge how the market will price Kenyan oil.
