About My Work

I am an extractives industry practitioner working with communities in Turkana County on Oil and Gas and Mining. My responsibility is to organize local communities to prepare for dialogue meetings, with the Investors prior to engagement in any extraction.
Since the discovery of Oil in Turkana, Kenya, we have been involved in various engagements with the IOC, the government, Parliamentarians on the legislature, INGOs on compensation of communities displaced from the drilling sites and we continue to engage the community on management of expectations. Currently we are involved in brokering the benefit sharing agreements and negotiation around the % of revenue sharing to the community and the county government.
I am organizing an Oil and Gas conusltative conference to take place in June 2018, where we will invite international speakers and presenters to evaluate the status of our preparedness in the final stage of the development of the oil sites for extraction and marketing of the black gold.
