President William Ruto has termed those opposed to the Ksh 2.2 trillion East African Refinery in Lamu County as extortionists saying the project is a strategic energy security investment for the country and the region.
Speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony of the refinery being constructed by Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote in Mokoye in Lamu County, President Ruto told off those opposing the project as brokers urging Kenyans to consider investing in the project.
“Some of the people you see issuing statements left, right and centre and sponsoring court cases are actually extortionists. They are looking for an opportunity to be talked to somewhere in the corner,” said Ruto.
