The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has demanded the redesign of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (Lapsett) for encroaching on its lands.

The designated lands are in Garissa County. This has resulted in a review of the route that the crude oil pipeline from Turkana County to Lamu will take.
