Speculation and complex land acquisition procedures have left the government battling missed construction deadlines.
Internal documents seen by the Sunday Nation by Tullow show the oil project will require a massive 3,347 hectares of land.
The National Land Commission (NLC) walks a tightrope as the State prepares to shell out billions of shillings to owners of about 3,347 hectares of land along the Turkana-Mombasa oil pipeline corridor after a British firm Tullow Oil presented a clearer plan for production in South Lokichar Basin.
The acquisition of the massive tracts of land is expected to shine a brighter light on the acquisition process for public projects in the wake of past graft claims.
