Mr Munyes said they are auditing all the spending incurred by Tullow Oil since exploration started in the county.
He confirmed that operations in the oil fields have been scaled down.
He noted that some of the critical projects that locals are banking on include a water pipeline from Turkwel Dam to the oil fields.
Petroleum Cabinet Secretary John Munyes has confirmed that the government is currently conducting a forensic audit of Tullow Oil operations in South Lokichar Basin.
This is after top elected leaders from Turkana County comprising of all MPs, Governor Josphat Nanok and his deputy Peter Lotethiro last month held a meeting in Lodwar town where they demanded for the audit, citing limited information on petroleum activities by the British oil exploration company.
