Kenya Expands Petroleum Pipeline to Boost Regional Fuel Trade

Kenya is advancing plans to expand its petroleum transportation network by extending the Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali pipeline, aiming to enhance fuel supply across East Africa. The project targets regional partners, including Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan, to facilitate efficient distribution of refined petroleum products.

Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi, speaking during the unveiling of a new pump station in Ngema, Nakuru County, said the initiative will solidify Mombasa’s role as the region’s primary and most cost-effective fuel gateway.

"Uganda is fully utilizing the corridor, while Rwanda is at 70 percent. Extending the pipeline from Eldoret will integrate more countries, driving sustainable development and economic prosperity across the region," Wandayi stated.

The newly commissioned pump station, developed by the Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC) at a cost of KSh 1.3 billion ($10.9 million), will increase the product flow rate along the 14-inch western Kenya pipeline from 330 cubic meters per hour to 510 cubic meters per hour — a 69 percent boost.

The project, part of the second phase of the Line IV (Nairobi-Eldoret) Capacity Enhancement Project initiated in 2022, follows the installation of pumping stations at Nairobi Terminal (PS21) and Nakuru (PS24).

KPC Managing Director Joe Sang revealed plans to further optimize the pipeline’s flow rate to 757 cubic meters per hour upon completion of the third upgrade phase. He also highlighted an upcoming reconfiguration of the Nairobi Terminal to a 2+1 mode, ensuring uninterrupted operations with two pumps running and one on standby.

"This achievement demonstrates the growing capacity of local expertise," Sang said, commending Strata Industrial Ltd, the Kenyan contractor responsible for the project.

Strata Industrial Managing Director Francis Njogu praised the collaboration, noting, "This project proves that indigenous companies can deliver major infrastructure projects on time and within budget."

The expansion aligns with KPC’s long-term strategy to modernize petroleum infrastructure, reinforcing Kenya's position as a regional petroleum hub and strengthening economic ties within the East African Community.

Kenya Pipeline Invests Sh24m in School Infrastructure in Homa Bay

The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Foundation has unveiled school infrastructure projects worth Sh24 million in Homa Bay County to enhance education standards.

The projects include two classrooms worth Sh3 million at Lambwe Mixed Special Secondary School in Suba North, and a Sh5 million dormitory at Siburi Mixed Secondary in Karachuonyo. Additionally, a Sh5 million dormitory was built at St Joseph Multi-purpose Secondary School in Ndhiwa, while Simbi Mixed Secondary School received a modern laboratory and dormitory valued at Sh8 million.

KPC Foundation also constructed an administration block and a latrine at Kowuor Primary School in Karachuonyo at a cost of Sh3 million.

During the commissioning at Lambwe Special Secondary School, KPC Foundation manager Rachel Gathoni emphasized the organization's commitment to providing a conducive learning environment for students.

“Through this initiative, we aim to transform the lives of young Kenyans and empower them for a better future,” she stated.

Lambwe Mixed Special Secondary School principal Margaret Kwamboka welcomed the project, noting that it had addressed a pressing shortage of classrooms.

“We lacked two classrooms, and KPC Foundation has come to our aid. This will significantly benefit our students, many of whom are orphans facing various challenges,” Kwamboka said.

The school’s Board of Management member Erick Adede added that the improved infrastructure would motivate students and attract more learners.

In addition to the infrastructural support, KPC announced full scholarships for all students at Lambwe Special Secondary School from Suba North, ensuring continued access to education for vulnerable learners.

Although soap and water is the gold standard for handwashing to reduce contracting or transmitting Corona Virus, hand sanitizers provide an alternative when there is the absence of water & soap. #komeshaCorona https://www.instagram.com/p/CAC2iAmg36A/?igshid=1lzo6ly0krhy6
