Ruto Orders Multi-Billion Company Out of the Country - September 2026

President William Ruto has ordered Tata Chemicals Magadi to cease operations and leave Kenya immediately, citing over a century of resource exploitation without benefit to Kajiado County residents. The closure affects a company operating in Kajiado County for decades that failed to invest locally despite extracting resources. The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) has accused the Kenyan government of economic sabotage and President William Ruto of pursuing personal gain following the suspension of operations. The President has also assured Kajiado residents that Amboseli National Park will soon be fully under their management, despite a temporary court injunction currently in place.
