An engineer could be facilitating the latest siphoning of oil from the Nakuru-Kisumu pipeline, the fuel corporation has said.

Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Managing Director Joe Sang, who toured the scene of the illicit operation yesterday, said it was the work of a person with an engineering background and who was knowledgeable about the State oil company’s operations.
