DANGOTE EAST AFRICA REFINERY: This post is for archives. It will be useful soon when the dust settles.
Anyone who knows this government knows one thing, every popular project and program is usually the most vulnerable to Patronage. They always know you can always get away with anything and attack those who ask credible questions as โwale hawataki tujenge this or thatโ.
We are all in support of Foreign Direct Investments and especially from our African investors like Dangote. The questions and responsibilities is on the Government of Kenya who must not blubber but just make everything public.
1. We asked about the shareholders of the Kenyan subsidiary of Dangote refinery - Dangote East African Refinery. The response from the President was lengthy but didnโt provide such a simple request. Who are the shareholders of the Kenyan Subsidiary of Dangote East African Refinery? Simple. No anger, no explanation. Just the shareholders list.
2. How much land are we ceding to Dangote refinery? Is the value being converted to Equity or shareholding? What is the value?
3. How much has Kenya committed to invest directly into Dangote East Africa Refinery? Is there premium in the amount?
4. In the Lagos Refinery, the company had to build their own infrastructure including a Port and roads. Will the investment done by the previous governments in regard to Port and all count for anything? How much?
5. Is there any agreement committing Kenya into off take of the refined products? At what cost? As I type this, Nigeria where Dangote Cement is dominant has the highest retail prices of Cement in Africa. This is based of policies and agreements like the ones we must now make public.
If the government cannot provide these details, we will do so on their behalf. We are not asking these questions because we donโt know the details, we are only giving them a chance to do what a responsible government should do.
We are African and Africa is our Business..

Signed into law the Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill, 2026, establishing a national investment vehicle aimed at preserving wealth generated from Kenya's natural resources and strategic investments for future generations.
The new law is a historic milestone that will ensure the country's prosperity endures beyond the current generation.
With this consequential law, Kenya has put in place watertight mechanisms that will ensure the resources attained from strategic assets and natural resources endure for generations.
The Sovereign Wealth Fund serves as a guarantee that revenues from petroleum and other valuable mineral resources are not entirely consumed by the present generation but are invested to benefit our children and the children of our children.
The legislation establishes three key windows under the fund: The Stabilisation Fund will cushion the economy against external shocks, the Strategic Investment Window will finance national development projects and create jobs, while the Future Generations pillar - Urithi Fund - will invest a portion of petroleum and mineral revenues for future citizens.
Under the law, 30 per cent of revenues from petroleum and mineral resources will be channelled into the Urithi Fund, with the remainder supporting economic stability and strategic investments.
The Sovereign Wealth Fund becomes the second major financial institution created under the Government's economic transformation agenda after the establishment of the National Infrastructure Fund in March 2026. This fund is designed to mobilise private capital for development projects.
I applaud and sincerely thank the President H.E. Dr. @WilliamsRuto for signing into law the Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill 2026, a historic milestone that demonstrates bold, visionary leadership and a firm commitment to securing Kenya's economic future.
This landmark legislation establishes the Sovereign Wealth Fund, a strategic national investment vehicle through which revenues from our mineral resources, dividends from public investments and privatization proceeds will be safeguarded and invested for the benefit of both present and future generations.
The enactment of this law is a clear testament to the Government's resolve to ensure that the country's natural wealth translates into lasting prosperity for all Kenyans.

By restoring forests, improving livelihoods, and promoting environmental stewardship, we are building resilient communities while safeguarding one of Kenya's most important water towers.
