Activists Want Details on Kenya Oil Contract with Chinese Firm

Mohammad Yusuf

   NAIROBI - Kenya has exported its first shipment of oil, worth about $12
   million, under a deal with the Chinese petrochemical company,
   ChemChina. Members of a civil society group are demanding transparency,
   calling on the Kenyan government to show how the Chinese firm won the
   bid to buy the oil and how much revenue the country is getting from the
   sale.

   After years of exploration, Kenya exported its first crude oil shipment
   last month.

   Amid the excitement of Kenya joining the list of oil-producing
   countries, some civil society groups are accusing the government of
   keeping oil deals with a Chinese company secret.
