Tullow has suspended Turkana’s early oil pilot scheme citing severe damage to roads caused by adverse weather in the fourth quarter of 2019.
In a statement, Tullow said trucking will remain on hold until all roads are repaired to a safe standard.
But the firm said work will continue with joint venture partners and the national government.
