In a move to ease transportation of oil between Kisumu and Eldoret, Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) will be constructing a 112km pipeline. The pipeline will run from Sinendet to Kisumu.
The ten inch multi-product oil pipeline is considered a good riddance to the increased truck traffic on the route which comes with its hurdles following increased demand of petroleum products in the region.
This oil pipeline project is among the major infrastructural projects that KPC has in place as it seeks to overhaul the entire pipeline infrastructure in the country.KPC also seeks to replace the Mombasa-Nairobi line as well as renovate the Nairobi-Eldoret pipeline. An LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) storage and bottling facility along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway is also in plan.
Unlike in other pipelines in the country, a fibre optic cable will also be laid down along the entire pipeline Eldoret-Kisumu line.
Plans are also underway to see Eldoret connected to Kampala via pipeline. This will be undertaken in a joint partnership between the governments of Kenya and Uganda. The governments of Kenya and Uganda together hold a 49% of the pipeline with each having a 24.5% share. The pipeline will be extended from Eldoret in Kenya, through Malaba on the border (110 km), through Jinja (130 km from Malaba) then to Kampala (80 km).
