Not much has been heard of the LAPSSET project since the high fancied ground breaking ceremony. The people who are on the ground, what is going on?

Of the key activities i.e. port, railway, highway, oil pipeline, oil refinery, resort city, and airport, I thought the first to kick-off should be the port. Obviously, after Southern Sudan showed a lot of interest in the oil pipeline, it was rumored that this will be complete in 12 months!

How much finances have been secured for the above mentioned components?

Did the Sudanese war put a damper to things?

Once the announcement of commercial deposits of oil is done the project will be pushed forward very fast

The whole project has already been designed, and subdivided into lots ...these days no contractor is given the whole project.

On syokimau....KR has been working of stations the Nairobi railway transit system might be done by Russians
