Just looking at the map, Kenya would have been the more logical route. But majambazi za kenya are both greedy and stupid

Let them use TZ. In kenya they could have been charged billions for the land ya pipeline while in TZ land is owned by govt and can be used for such projects. Also kathongo would have demanded 50% shares in the pipeline.

You are wrong. Actually it is the pipes that will be heated to maintain a temperature of 50 degrees C for ease of flow of the oil.
Quote:
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is designed to be a heated pipeline. The pipeline will be the world’s longest heated crude oil pipeline, spanning 1,443 kilometers. The heating is necessary because the crude oil from Uganda’s oil fields needs to be kept at a minimum temperature of 50°C (122°F) to maintain its flow characteristics.
Here’s why heating is required and how it’s achieved:
** Oil Characteristics:*
The crude oil from Uganda’s Tilenga and Kingfisher oil fields is viscous and waxy, meaning it becomes too thick to flow easily at lower temperatures.
** Temperature Maintenance:*
The pipeline is designed to maintain the oil temperature above 50°C to ensure smooth flow.
** Heating Systems:*
The pipeline includes a heat tracing system with electrical heating elements that can warm the oil if needed, especially during start-up or low flow rates.
** Insulation:*
The pipeline is heavily insulated with a polyurethane layer and an outer protective layer of High-Density Polyethylene to minimize heat loss.
** Power Source:*
In Uganda, the electricity for heating will primarily come from hydropower stations, while in Tanzania, it will be sourced from the grid and potentially EACOP’s own solar and generator power.

T255 asione hii. In Tz government owns all the land, so no compensation manenos Kama kwetu, and also less greed by those in charge, it was done during Maghufuli times. Good for them, our greed cost us

Kony the rebel ata siphon hio pipe aibe oil
Kenyans don’t know kucheza global politics. If it was me in charge I’d sabotage that shit so much because it will affect Kenya financially.
Wanajenga pipeline wasaidike kwa nini while Kenya will lose money?

Cartels like @Gaza and family would never let us have progress. They must undercut every project. Why do you think we don’t have BRT or a subway like in Nairobi? Well, @Yuletapeli and his matatu cartels won’t let us have that. They need to eat. Therein lies the issue.

And how exactly would you do that?
.. but, but mimi ni mtu ya kutaka maendeleo. Matatu biz ni side hustle tu. Naweza uza nishike “marori” za ku transport food stuff kutoka tz. Bado sijapata hio mwanya…
It starts by looking out for number 1. And recognizing that any wealth that flows into a country ultimately benefits a country. In kenya you have weirdos who will step over locals and hire the whites just to one up their fellow blacks

All oil in Africa is owned by foreigners. You cannot refine it. Uganda will continue importing fuel through mombasa port.
Hehehe, Una matusi
Kwikwikwikwikwikwi Tanzania ndio inajua kucheza siasa chafu. Tunakuua huku tunakuchekea na wewe unaendelea kujisifu huku tumekuminya kende.
Lol, look how well their primitive communism masked as socialism has worked for them so far. The country is 30 years behind despite being twice as large as Kenya.
The irony.
