CNBC: Integration key to East Africa's oil & gas sector
The integration of East Africa is vital to developing the region's nascent oil and gas sector, says Rand Merchant Bank (RMB's) Lisa Brown.
“What these countries need to do in this time is develop the regional story around oil and gas, develop policy alignment across the region, particularly in terms of infrastructure,” she said in an interview with CNBC Africa.
One of the major challenges identified by organisations in the oil and gas industry is that East African countries not only lack infrastructure and technical expertise, they also lack distinctive oil and gas policies.
“These countries need to revisit and restrategise their legislations,” Brown added.
