Kenya🇰🇪 will start commercial oil production from the South Lokichar fields before year-end, beginning at 20,000 barrels per day and rising to 50,000 barrels per day.

The government prioritises upstream production and export readiness, while investments in refining depend on future output and regional integration.

Africa’s overall oil production is increasing, with countries like Nigeria🇳🇬 leading and new refineries like Dangote shifting the continent toward fuel self-sufficiency.

Ivory Coast’s government has dissolved the Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) after sustained opposition criticism over its handling of elections.

“In view of the reservations expressed about this institution as well as the criticism it has faced, the Council of Ministers has decided to dissolve it,” Communications Minister Amadou Coulibaly said at a news conference after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

Coulibaly said the move was aimed at paving the way for a new election management system but stopped short of naming a replacement for the CEI.

“I cannot tell you at this stage what this new mechanism will be, which will certainly be discussed and put in place at the government level,” he said.

The aim, he said, is “to ensure in a lasting way the organisation of peaceful elections by creating greater trust and reassuring all Ivorians and the political class”.
