{UAH} Toyota wins design deal for $4 billion regional crude oil pipeline

Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda have up to the end of January to find financiers of the $4 billion Hoima-Lokichar-Lamu crude oil pipeline after they settled on Toyota Tsusho Thursday as a consultant for the project.

Kenya's Energy PS Joseph Njoroge said the crude oil pipeline — running 1,500km from Hoima near Uganda's Lake Albert to Kenya's Lamu port, and connecting to South Sudan at Lokichar — will be developed as a single project split into lots.

"Each country will carry out implementation in the area within their jurisdiction.

''Uganda and Kenya will build the section of the lines within their boundaries," Mr Njoroge said in a statement released after the three states signed a deal to hire Toyota Tsusho as a consultant in Kampala Thursday.
