The Kenyan government has trained 349 Kenyans in oil exploration over the past four years, according to Devolution and Planning Cabinet Secretary, Mwangi Kiunjuri.

In a speech read on his behalf at a conference, Kiunjuri said that the training cost Sh480 million and those trained came from various agencies in the government.

The workers will aid in the development of gas and oil exploration in Turkana and along the Great Rift Valley. Taking training further, the government is in talks with the Norwegian government to develop a five-year technical assistance and capacity building program to help Kenya in developing and managing its oil and gas sector by the end of 2017.
