Controversy surrounds the proposed Sh2.2 trillion oil refinery by Dangote Group in Lamu, Kenya, part of the LAPSSET Corridor project.

• Dangote Group, led by Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote, plans a 700,000-barrel-per-day refinery.
• Local residents and groups, including the Lamu Marine Forum and Lamu Council of Elders, are demanding consultation and benefits like a community trust fund and local employment quotas.
• Government officials and LAPSSET architects, such as former Director-General Silvester Kasuku, defend the project as a transformative investment for the region.
