Kenya is ready to break ground on a proposed refinery project in Lamu, President William Ruto has said, according to Punch Nigeria. The project is described as the East Africa Refinery and is being developed with Nigerian industrialist Aliko Dangote. Ruto’s statement indicates that Kenya considers the project ready to move to the groundbreaking stage.
The available material does not provide a date for the ceremony or say whether construction has begun. It also does not specify the refinery’s planned capacity, expected cost, financing arrangements or projected completion date. No further comments from Dangote, the Kenyan government or other parties are included in the supplied report.
The announcement therefore establishes Ruto’s stated readiness to begin the project, but does not provide additional information about its implementation.
