Arusha. The East African Court of Justice (EACJ) has dismissed an appeal seeking to halt the implementation of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), ruling that the matter had been filed out of time.
The judgment upholds an earlier decision by the court’s First Instance Division, which struck out a petition challenging the construction of the 1,443-kilometr pipeline. The $4 billion project is set to transport crude oil from Uganda’s Lake Albert region to the Port of Tanga in Tanzania.
