Kenya politics is tribal. Nakuru is 50 percent Kikuyu; 30 percent Kalenjin; 20 percent others (Gusii, Luhya, Maasai and Luo). Nakuru is obvious - UDA/Ruto will carry the day. Kikuyus in Nakuru and Eldoret - and in most of Rift Valley - are voting peace - they want to continue peaceful co-existence with Kalenjin after 92-07 PEV - that is why not a single MP apart from Arama(Gusii) is in Jubilee - all of them joined UDA. Only Lee is stuck and is going home. The same scenarios play in Narok, Kajiado and Tranzoia - where Kalenjin/Kikuyu constitute a significant minority - that basically decide the seats.


Discuss something else. Politics you're toddlers.

That's the problem of living in a bubble/echo chamber. Whatever he is saying has very little to do with reality. In reality Azimio has nearly 3/4 of Kenyan counties under wraps. KK is banking on the north Rift and Central, and in both areas Azimio will eat a significant chunk. Nakuru for instance, my home county is overwhelmingly pro Azimio yet it's in the rift and has a huge number of voters. The rest of the country is solidly behind the old man.

Tanzania Inks Deal With Shell, Equinor for $30-Billion LNG Terminal
Tanzania has signed an LNG framework agreement to reboot a plan to build an LNG export terminal on the Indian Ocean.
June 14, 2022
The government of Tanzania has signed a liquefied natural gas (LNG) framework agreement with the UK’s Shell and Norway’s Equinor that is expected to kick-start construction of a $30- to $40-billion LNG export terminal to commercialize the country’s deepwater offshore gas reserves.

The deal signed by the three parties on 11 June is foundational to the Tanzanian government’s issuance of a Host Government Agreement (HGA) later this year which will outline the project’s technical, commercial, and legal terms, according to Bloomberg.

Front-end engineering and design (FEED and pre-FEED) will be completed within 3 years of HGA signing, with a final investment decision targeted in 2025. A 4- to 5-year construction period will follow with a first LNG drop planned by 2029–2030.

The plant will be built at the East African nation’s southern coastal town of Lindi. It will be linked via a 100-km subsea pipeline to significant deepwater gas discoveries off Tanzania’s southern coast and have a 30-year life span, according to Equinor.

If all goes as planned, 2025 will be significant also as the year Tanzania becomes a transit state for crude oil passing from Uganda’s Lake Albert development through the East African Crude Oil Pipeline to be exported through the Tanzanian port town of Tanga.

Regulatory delays had stalled construction of the LNG project during Tanzania’s late President John Magufuli’s tenure in office, but his successor and current president, Samia Suluhu Hassan, reignited discussions shortly after taking office a year ago, Aljazeera reported. First talks regarding the plant were initiated in 2014. But now there is a new sense of urgency.

Tanzania is among the gas-rich African nations that now see LNG exports as a way to transform their economies in light of today’s geopolitical realignment of energy trade and the opening of new market opportunities. Energy Minister January Makamba singled out Asia as Tanzania’s No. 1 target market given his country’s geographic position on the Indian Ocean, during the LNG signing ceremony.

Developing New Gas Resources
With regard to the development of Tanzania’s gas resource base, Shell currently operates Block 1 and Block 4 offshore where it has discovered 16 Tcf (453 Bcm) of recoverable natural gas. Shell holds a 60% interest in a production-sharing agreement (PSA) with the Tanzanian government that expires in 2024. Other partners include Pavilion Energy (20%) and Jakarta-based Medco Energy (20%).

Pavilion is a subsidiary of Temasek, a global investment company based in Singapore that is focused on LNG shipping and trade in Asia and Europe. Medco has exploration and production operations in Indonesia, Mexico, Libya, and Tanzania as well as interests in power, gas trading and mining, according to the companies’ websites.

Equinor operates Block 2, where it has drilled more than 15 exploration wells since 2011 resulting in nine discoveries at water depths of 2500 m with an estimated 20 Tcf of gas, according to Equinor’s website. The Norwegian major plans to develop the field using subsea wells located on the seabed to avoid having to build expensive facilities at sea level.

Equinor entered the Tanzania market in 2007 after having signed a PSA for Block 2 with Tanzania Petroleum Development Corp. (TPDC). Equinor has a 65% operating interest in Block 2, while ExxonMobil holds a 35% working interest. TPDC has the right under the PSA to participate with a 10% interest.

Overall, Tanzania estimates its recoverable offshore reserves at more than 57 Tcf (1,630 Bcm) which are reported to be the sixth-largest in Africa.

Hassan as well as leaders of other gas-rich African countries have been floating the idea that the continent has the resources to join other global LNG producers in supplying Europe as the EU seeks to end its energy dependence on Russia.

But, as several leaders among those representing the 11 nations present at the Gas Exporting Countries Forum held in Qatar on 22 February (2 days before Russian troops crossed into Ukraine) pointed out, significant investment would be needed to develop new gas infrastructure capable of replacing current Russian imports. Also, Europe would need to sign long-term contracts, Aljazeera noted in its coverage of the forum.

Europe for the most part has moved away from long-term agreements over the past decade, preferring the flexibility of spot market purchases of fossil fuel, especially considering the push to replace carbon-intensive oil and gas with green, low- or no-carbon renewables.

There is also political risk. While Tanzania may be stable, it had planned to join with neighboring Mozambique in a wider vision to create a greater East African LNG hub. But it is uncertain when Mozambique’s stalled LNG development might get back on track after an insurgency caused France’s TotalEnergies to declare force majeure on its multibillion dollar operation in April, 2021.

With your usual slow pace; you may never see it in your lifetime. Uganda oil discovered in 2006 - by 2025 - 20yrs later it would still be stuck underground. Tanzania the same story. You need to hire Kenyans.

but son,how can we hire a starving man for a job which costs billions of dollars? just imagine,a guy cant feed himself,cant end tribalism,then how can the same man be able to do engineering stuff? madness

remember the cost of a project is now 40b by the latest estimates

rvp2018:
Why do you need more land in this century.

because we dnt wanna starve like u guys

Human capital is blocking that Natural Capital. Kenya professionals are some of Africa best and can help you fasten the process. I am sure you have translate everything to Kiswahili and taken months to understands.

This why Kenya despite all that semi-aridness is waay ahead of Tanzania

where is your turkana oil?

do u think talking with empty staving mouth will help you? why are u lacking skills to end hunger? i have no time arguing with a starving man,sorry go first learn how to feed yourselves as a country

tanzania

progress on a 3b dollars nyerere hydropower project in a rufiji river

Without Uganda oil - it may be hopeless - as recoverable oil is very little to attract investment. But we already trucked some of it and sold it.

I heard about this but no pics yet to confirm construction update but it is said that construction has commenced.

Another bad boy in banana island. Already topped out and interior decor has commenced. You can tell Nigerians don’t joke with luxury interior decor. All hands are always on the deck to make it a masterpiece. And guess what,it’s cheaper compared to what I have seen in most countries for less luxury.

How does he transfer that to Raila and rally them when he is hiding in statehouse afraid to be heckled.Looking at Martha poorly attended rallies she cannot manage it alone.Unless uhuru engages directly which could cause image problems his jubilee folks are doing everything to distancing themselves from Raila..so Raila support base in Mt Kenya will remain at best 25 percent..if not even worse than that...Uhuru himself has an image problem as he seen by Mt Kenya has having dropped kibaki economic ball and bringing shame to the community by presiding a collapsing economy...so I don't see much hope for Raila in Mt Kenya.Maybe in a rigging schemes he stand a chance..

Uhuru kenyatta has outperformed kibaki by far in terms of economy if he could have stand again I would give him my vote

Jubilee party popularity has now reduced to 2-3 percent. That is some indictment. And current economic woes doesnt help his case at all...with Kshs weakening to 120...fuel crisis like never before.. food prize through the roof. Uhuru is going home very unpopular.

April he was 4-5 percent - now I have seen he is 2-3 percent - just about where weed advocate Wajackoyah is.

Bruv... Chill. let's give Rvp 1 month 20days before we engage him in politics.

Facts still stand. Reality that can be seen with the naked eye - Azimio is the winning team. Mount Kenya is turning the table - all thanks to Martha and the chief Uhuru himself. 40% of mount Kenya's votes is a clean win for Azimio. Forget Ethnicity... Kikuyu does not mean UDA(currently). And Luhya land is also pro- Azimio( even with MDVD & weta). Kamba land can't be 50/50... That is an Azimio zone - No theory will change this lineup. We know political dynamics in Kenya... you play any silly move, like what Ruto did, then it's an end game for you.
