Energy Cabinet Secretary nominee Opiyo Wandayi has pledged to revive the Tullow Oil Turkana project if approved by Parliament.

During his vetting by the National Assembly Committee on Appointments on Saturday, August 3, Wandayi emphasised that while the oil in the Turkana fields is still available, the project's progress has been hindered by a lack of sufficient funding.
