Why are we wasting billion of shillings searching for Oil in the depths of the earth .... not sure that we we'll ever get it ....when we have already gotten massive coal deposits in Mwingi.... Why not use this funds to mine the equally industrialization driving coal?????....Educated Kenyans we need to ask these questions ..... The oil exploitation could be another scandal in the making....

What was the use of coal exploration if after confirming the deposits we cant exploit......

Waiba just celebrated 25 years of being an MP.He calls it servant leadership...

I have been having the same thots on the coal deposits.

Is this not where we should get the cheap electricity to drive our factories, trains lighting etc.

I don't really mind them searching for the oil as well, after all the chinese are picking the bill.

In fact the question is why have the chinese/indians or any other foreigner not shown any interest in the coal, is it really there in commercially viable quantities and quality
