President William Ruto has issued a stern warning to wealthy landowners at the Coast, vowing to take decisive action against those harassing local residents. He declared that his administration will not yield to the demands of absentee landlords at the Coast who are seeking billions in compensation for land intended for squatters. Separately, the Kenyan government announced it will invest Ksh7.5 billion to construct 3,000 housing units in Lamu County in preparation for the Dangote East Africa Refinery development. This initiative is expected to accommodate workers for the refinery project.
