Nairobi: Turkana MPs have vowed to block oil drilling and the construction of pipeline until the government honours its promises on infrastructure, security, power, water, and jobs for people in the county.

The lawmakers said they will set up roadblocks to ensure that "not even a litre of oil will be transported" until their conditions are met.
