They also emphasized that the undertaking makes stronger the bond between the two countries and the East African Community at large.

At 1,445kms, it will be the longest electrically heated oil pipeline in the world.

The remaining 1,149kms will be in Tanzania covering  24 districts.

The pipeline will be buried 1.2 metres of it beneath the ground.

It’s estimated cost is $3.55 billion while the construction will last three years at most.

The daily flow rate will be 216,000 barrels with six pumping stations and two pressure reduction stations.
