Environmental activists have accused one of Kenya’s largest banks of suppressing protest over the controversial East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).
The EACOP is a proposed 900 mile (1,443 kilometre) heated pipeline that will transport oil from hydrocarbon fields around Hoima, Uganda, to the port of Tanga in Tanzania. KCB Bank, through its subsidiary in Uganda, are providing some financing for the project alongside a number of other institutions.
