Ruto set for Coast tour featuring groundbreaking for Sh2 trillion Dangote refinery
President Ruto will begin his tour of the Coast region on Saturday.
President William Ruto will embark on a tour of the Coast region from Saturday, issuing nearly 200,000 title deeds and inaugurating a new refinery in Lamu. The journey will span Taita-Taveta, Kwale, Kilifi, Mombasa, Tana River, and Lamu counties, allowing the President to gauge the advancement of government projects and interact with local leaders on development priorities.
The distribution of title deeds aims to resolve decades-long land disputes and provide formal ownership, enabling beneficiaries to utilize their land for economic growth. President Ruto will commence his tour in Taita-Taveta, issuing 31,318 deeds to residents of Mwatate and Voi constituencies. Subsequent stops in Kwale, Kilifi, and Mombasa will distribute a total of 154,197 deeds to beneficiaries in various constituencies.
The tour also includes the commissioning of the $16 billion East Africa Refinery in Lamu, a joint venture between the Kenyan government and Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote. The refinery, estimated to generate over 500,000 jobs, aims to bolster Kenya's energy security and supply refined petroleum products to East and Central African markets.
