Cant wait to see the banks rushing there to set up branches!
I imagine JM of member has already convened a board meeting on the same!LMOILIBYA!

Since the central government is to play guarantor for county loans, 'we' may need a strong man at the helm - meaning a stronger central government - lest the proceeds go to white elephant projects and the like.

County governors will need to be more visionary and the whole country will need to develop synergies quickly; but is this possible given our political and economic models?

The situation is like having talent but lacking the discipline to use it to excel. So, in the end most of us will be waiting for benefits to trickle down through fat cat fingers.

Kenyans its time we said

This is the best news we have heard in a long time. However let us not be too optimistic, as you notice the exploration block is owned by Tullow Oil and Africa Oil. That means that the rights have already been sold as someone has already benefitted from the deal. It may be a deal similar to Uganda where the country will only get a pittance from taxes which we dont know what was agreed. You may recall that some cabinet ministers had been allocated oil exploration blocks that they sold on. These issue was highlighted in The East African recently..
At least the Northern frontiers and Kapenguria will get some services and infrastructure. These parts of the country have been neglected by successive governments. The only form of government these parts of the government has been NGOs and churches.

any development on when tullow will list in UG?
