NAIROBI, Aug 10 (Reuters) - A pipeline to connect South Sudan's oil fields with the Kenyan port of Lamu for export will cost ${esc.dollar}3 billion, the country's Finance Minister Kosti Manibe said on Friday.
Landlocked South Sudan has been seeking to build a pipeline to Kenya to end dependency on Sudan through which Juba now needs to exports its crude via a pipeline to the Sudanese port of Port Sudan.
