Uganda has proposed to South Sudan to consider a joint venture in the construction of an oil pipeline through Uganda to Port Lamu in Kenya.
South Sudan and Kenya in August signed an agreement for the construction of a 2,000km oil pipeline to the Kenyan port of Lamu.
It is expected to deliver South Sudan’s crude oil to the rest of the world via the port. The construction is expected to begin next June and will cost $3b.
Uganda argues that the pipeline would benefit the region because more countries would contribute towards its construction and also use it.
