LODWAR: The government plans to transport crude oil from Lokichar basin to the sea port in Mombasa by road would be blocked until the demands by locals are met.

Turkana South MP James Lomenen while addressing residents at Lokichar said unless the state builds the dilapidated Lodwar-Kitale road, compensate locals and come up with a clear oil revenue sharing formula no drop of oil will cross to Mombasa refinery.
