The issue here is that when we have accidents like the one we had recently, these tankers in Kenya will always burst open and fuel will pour out.

In particular, there are 6,500 products that are supposed to be able to access the US market in favourable conditions. This is supposed to last until 2015.

What is it that Kenya was able to secure? For example, did we get the extension ... view
