NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 5 – Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome has maintained that land earmarked for the proposed Dangote East Africa Refinery in Lamu is government-owned, dismissing claims that the project is being developed on privately owned land.
Wahome said the government had identified and secured land for the multi-billion-shilling refinery, amid an ongoing dispute involving residents who claim ancestral and occupation rights over portions of the area.
The Cabinet Secretary also accused what she described as “enemies of development” of allegedly planting squatters in the area in an attempt to frustrate the refinery project.
