What happened
Ekuru Aukot, a leader of the Thirdway Alliance Kenya Party, asked the Attorney-General to disclose the owners of the Dangote East Africa Petroleum Refinery and details of the Sh2.2 trillion project in Lamu. He specifically requested the contract between the Government of Kenya and the Dangote Group or Dangote Refineries Limited SEZ, including information on beneficial ownership and shareholders.

Why it matters
The request centers on the major refinery complex being developed by the Dangote Group in Lamu, which is a formal project with the Government of Kenya. The demand for contract disclosure and ownership details raises questions about the project's legal and financial structure.
A proposed oil refinery project linked to Aliko Dangote is planned on land behind Lamu Port, which is affecting local residents.
