  "account": "NAIROBI, Kenya – Opposition MPs Ndindi Nyoro and Edwin Sifuna have demanded President William Ruto release details of the Dangote-Lamu refinery deal within 14 days. Nyoro argued that the lack of transparency in such agreements raises concerns that Kenyans should be made aware of. Sifuna invoked Article 35 of the Constitution, stating that citizens are entitled to information held by the State, particularly when it involves significant financial commitments. The dispute over the deal has highlighted issues of access to information and parliamentary oversight in relation to the controversial project.",
  "summary": "Sifuna cited Article 35 of the Constitution, saying citizens are entitled to information held by the State and that important information affecting the nation should be published and publicised.",
