Summary
Minutes from a public meeting held on 11 March 2020 in Garissa County, Kenya, regarding a proposed route re-alignment for the Lokichar to Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline (LLCOP) project. The meeting aimed to inform stakeholders that the pipeline route was being moved to the north of a military area to avoid crossing Kenya Defence Force (KDF) land.
Key insights
- The Lokichar to Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline (LLCOP) project requires a route re-alignment in Garissa County because the original gazetted corridor crossed through a military area and affected land belonging to the Kenya Defence Force (KDF). In January 2020, the LAPSSET Corridor Development Authority (LCDA) decided to re-route the corridor to the north of the military area, which also involved relocating station 12.
- The project's Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report was submitted to NEMA in November 2019. Due to the design changes in Garissa County and Lamu, NEMA requested an Addendum study focusing on the affected re-alignment areas and their associated mitigation measures.
- The Pipeline Project Management Team (PPMT) intended to make a final investment decision (FID) by the end of 2020. As of the meeting date, Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) was complete, and most land outside Turkana County had been surveyed and gazetted by the National Land Commission (NLC), with the exception of areas near Ijara in Garissa County.
- During the public meeting, community members raised concerns regarding the lack of formal land title deeds for community-owned land in Garissa and the potential loss of grazing lands and acacia trees. Project representatives stated that the pipeline would be buried to allow for grazing, and the National Land Commission (NLC) would follow the Community Land Act for land acquisition.
