Petroleum CS John Munyes has urged Turkana leaders to stop blocking land aquisition for Lapsset's oil pipeline. The crude oil pipeline is to cross six counties, including Turkana, Samburu, Isiolo, Meru, Garisa and Lamu. Last year in March, the Turkana county government moved to court seeking conservatory orders to stop implementation of the National Land decision allowing compulsory land acquisition. He said the National Land Commission will handle compensation according to law. He said the government in conjunction with Tullow Oil decided to suspend oil exploration in the Turkana basin.
