President William Ruto has branded those mounting legal challenges to the Sh2.2 trillion East Africa Oil Refinery in Lamu as extortionists, insisting the project must move forward and inviting ordinary Kenyans to buy shares through the Nairobi Securities Exchange.
Ruto's Accusations and the Legal Backdrop
President William Ruto accused individuals challenging the planned Sh2.2 trillion East Africa Oil Refinery in Lamu through court cases of seeking to extort investors, as he urged Kenyans to participate in the project. Ruto said the refinery should proceed despite legal challenges surrounding the land earmarked for the project, maintaining that the investment would create jobs and stimulate industrial development.
The President made the remarks following the groundbreaking of the refinery on Wednesday. Ruto has criticised the legal challenges, alleging that some individuals supporting the project publicly were simultaneously backing court cases seeking to frustrate the investment. The President described such actions as extortion and said they were unacceptable.
Investment Structure and Regional Ambitions
Ruto has said the refinery will be structured as an open investment in which Kenyans can acquire shares through the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). He previously said the government would facilitate the participation of ordinary Kenyans in the investment rather than leave ownership to a small group of investors. The project has also attracted interest from regional governments, with a proposed collective 30% ownership stake for regional governments reported as part of the investment structure.
"The refinery investment is open and transparent," Ruto said, according to reports of his remarks. He said Kenyans should view investors as partners in the country's development and participate in opportunities arising from the project. The government seeks to mobilise local and international capital for the refinery, which has been presented as a major investment in Kenya's petroleum and industrial sectors.
Economic Projections and Downstream Potential
The government and Dangote Group have projected that the refinery and associated developments will generate tens of thousands of jobs. Ruto has said the project could create about 60,000 jobs, while Dangote has also announced plans to establish a training school in Lamu to equip Kenyan engineers with skills relevant to the refinery and related industries.
The refinery is expected to support the development of downstream industries, including petrochemicals, chemicals, fertiliser production and packaging. The project is intended to reduce East Africa's dependence on imported refined petroleum products and strengthen regional fuel security. Construction is expected to take several years, with the facility targeting completion around 2030.
