President William Ruto has said fuel suppliers under Kenya’s government-to-government deal are opposing plans to build an oil refinery in Mombasa. He spoke on Thursday, May 28.
Ruto said billionaire Aliko Dangote told him suppliers are under pressure because Kenya may shift to local refining. He argued the refinery would offer a long-term solution to fuel challenges.
He said Kenya must make tough decisions for future transformation instead of relying on short-term convenience. The President insisted the country will benefit from oil discovered in Turkana.
