Let us celebrate, the first oil discovery in Kenya.
This is great news to many Kenyans especially the poor and the marginalized. There is hope to the millions of hoi polloi who are struggling to cross the poverty line and join the few filthy rich individuals. The discovery was made in Turkana by a UK oil company called Tullow, the same company that unlocked billions of barrels in neighbouring Uganda.
It is our hope that this discovery will not enrich just a few greedy individuals especially politicians but all Kenyans in general starting with Turkana people have been marginalized since independence.
We have the potential to take this country forward by leaps and bounds especially by using the available resources. Hoping that we will be able to avoid the conflicts found in oil producing countries in Africa and the Arab world.
