Stakeholders and legislators are now calling on the government to review the exploration and production act to facilitate transparency and equity in the drilling of oil in the country. This, even as Cabinet Minister Moses Wetangula admitted that his former law firm was involved in the 800 million shilling transaction for an oil block in Turkana. The newly appointed trade minister however said that he had since retired from the firm and enjoys no benefits from it. And as Willis Raburu reports, the onus now sits on all arms of government to work together to ensure that all benefits accruing from oil, should the deposits found in Turkana prove commercially viable, serve to catapult the country into economic prosperity.
