Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has publicly requested the disclosure of shareholders in the Dangote refinery project in Lamu, highlighting concerns over transparency. The call comes amid growing public interest in the economic implications of the project. Nyoro emphasized the need for clear information on who holds stakes in the proposed refinery, which is part of a larger infrastructure initiative. The project, linked to Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote, has sparked debate over its impact on local communities and economic benefits. Local leaders and residents have expressed hope for job creation but also raised questions about governance and environmental safeguards. The government has not yet responded to Nyoro's demands, leaving the issue in limbo. As discussions continue, the transparency debate remains a key point of contention.
