[kictanet] #TurkanaOil-Kenya Discovers

[Evans Ikua]

I am not excited at all. I just came back from Nigeria where you have to
queue for hours in a filling station, sometimes days. Filling up your car
is a source of stress and you have to really plan for it. Maybe oil will
make our incessant political infighting getting bloodier. Konza City
excites me more than the discovery of oil. With Konza, we have to keep
thinking of how to bake the national cake. With oil, we will just be
fighting over the sharing of oil wealth. We will probably become lazy, and
yes, probably more corrupt.
