DANGOTE'S PROPOSED KENYA REFINERY HIT BY FRESH LEGAL CHALLENGE
Aliko Dangote’s planned $16 billion oil refinery in Kenya is facing a fresh challenge after the Consumers Federation of Kenya petitioned authorities to review the government’s proposed participation in the project. The consumer rights group is seeking disclosure of details surrounding the approval process, procurement route, Kenya’s proposed equity stake, public funding arrangements and any government guarantees or commitments attached to the refinery. The challenge comes only days after President William Ruto and Dangote attended the project’s groundbreaking in Lamu. It is separate from an existing land dispute involving residents who claim interests in part of the proposed refinery site.
