Tullow 'messed up' over Kenya local engagement

摘要

Cape Town-Tullow Oil "messed up" in Kenya when local protests in the country halted its onshore operations last month but the explor- er has learnt important lessons over engage- ment with local communities, one of the com- pany's senior officials said Wednesday. "Tullow is no cowboy operator, no short- cutter. We know full well that the head of the village can shut you down no matter what the head of state says," Tullow's vice president for African business, Tim O'Hanlon, told a regional oil conference in Cape Town.
