President Ruto accuses opposition of frustrating oil refinery plans

President William Ruto has accused opposition leaders of frustrating plans to establish an oil refinery in Lamu, alleging they are creating legal hurdles for investor Aliko Dangote. The president says the opposition’s concerns over the project’s shareholding are driven by political and personal interests, rather than the welfare of the people of Lamu. Ruto has pledged that the refinery will bring significant economic benefits to the region, including jobs and new investment opportunities for local residents.
