COFEK Seeks Review of Sh2.2tn Dangote Lamu Refinery Project - October 2026

The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) has petitioned the Public Private Partnerships Petition Committee to review Kenya's planned involvement in the proposed Sh2.2 trillion Dangote East Africa Oil Refinery and Petrochemical Complex in Lamu. This involves significant international investment in Kenya's petroleum infrastructure. Over 100 East African businesses are embarking on a 12-day program to explore new opportunities in the Chinese market, aiming to move beyond traditional import relationships and establish broader trade partnerships. Jambojet has relaunched its Nairobi-Entebbe route, marking a return to the Ugandan market after a seven-year hiatus, facilitating cross-border business and trade activities in the East African region.
