Governor Nanok faces off with Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenyatta loses his cool
President Uhuru Kenyatta engaged in a heated exchange with Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok over the sharing of oil revenue between the national and county governments.
The frosty relationship between Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok and Jubilee government played out during President Uhuru Kenyatta's tour of the arid county on Wednesday.
The governor sparked an angry reaction from the President after he criticised Government plans to amend the Petroleum Exploration and Production Bill to deny local communities 10 per cent oil share benefit as earlier proposed. The oil share benefit has been reduced to five per cent.
Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok, the ODM point man in the region, set the stage for the exchange after he said oil proceeds to the local community had been capped to 'nothing useful'.
