Ruto hands over 20K title deeds to Lamu residents

Ndindi Nyoro, leader of Kenya's People's Party, has given President William Ruto a 14 day deadline to reveal the agreement between the government and Dangote regarding the planned Lamu refinery. Nyoro made this demand during the funeral of Mwalimu Jackson Karua in Kirinyaga on Saturday, October 3, 2026. He argued that Kenyans should be able to examine the deal, as certain provisions could impact public interest.
Nyoro emphasized that his request for transparency is not against foreign investment but is aimed at ensuring openness around the project. The $16 billion refinery, expected to process up to 700,000 barrels of crude oil daily, is set to supply petroleum products across East Africa. Dangote, along with Ruto, attended the project's groundbreaking ceremony on September 30.
Ruto previously stated that the investment would be transparent, with Kenyans having the opportunity to purchase shares via the Nairobi Securities Exchange. However, Nyoro wants the government to publish the entire agreement, rather than just relying on public statements. This comes as other opposition leaders, including Ekuru Aukot, have also requested the full contract, including information on shareholders and beneficial owners.
