Gulf Energy wants the government to extend the railway to Lokichar in Turkana County by 2030 to transport crude oil to the port of Mombasa, marking a departure from the State's earlier plan to build a pipeline.

The firm has in its Field Development Plan (FDP) proposed the construction of a meter-gauge railway (MGR) from Lokichar, then connect it to the main MGR line at Kitale, Eldoret, Nakuru, Nyahururu, or Nanyuki.
