Nyoro gives Ruto 14 days to disclose Dangote refinery deal
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has given President William Ruto 14 days to release the Dangote refinery investment agreement and shareholder register.
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has demanded that President William Ruto disclose the agreement between Kenya and Nigeria's Aliko Dangote on the Sh2.2 trillion Lamu refinery within 14 days. Nyoro urged President Ruto to release the shareholders' register and the investment agreement, stating that Kenyans deserve to know the details. This comes after President Ruto and Dangote inaugurated the project on September 30.
The Sh2.2 trillion refinery, capable of processing up to 700,000 barrels of crude oil daily, is set to boost energy security, generate jobs, and establish Lamu as a regional petroleum and petrochemical hub. However, the project has sparked political and legal disputes. Nyoro questioned Dangote Refinery's ownership structure and the government's land contributions, while President Ruto acknowledged the government's 10% stake in the project.
Senator Edwin Sifuna has called on the Senate Energy Committee to obtain documents related to the refinery, including the investment agreement and financing arrangements, to ensure transparency and equitable benefits for Kenyan citizens.
