Turkana County is once again in the limelight and still for all the good reasons after the discovery of an additional 43 meters of potential oil in the Ngamia one well. The discovery by Africa oil comes barely four months after Tullow Oil Company discovered oil deposits in Turkana. The move is good news for the government and country at large as it seeks to explore a total of 18 blocks of oil. So far the explorers have drilled to a depth of 2,340 meters out of the total anticipated depth of 2,700 meters.
