KDF Reviews Security Operations Around Lamu as Dangote Refinery Advances

Major General William Kamoiro, commander of Central Command, called for stronger security around the proposed Ksh2.2 trillion Dangote refinery and the LAPSSET Corridor during a visit to Operation Amani Boni on October 15. He urged intelligence-led operations to protect infrastructure, workers and communities as construction plans move forward following a Malindi court ruling on October 14. Justice Jane Onyango declined to maintain the status quo in a land and environmental compliance case filed by 133 residents. The 40-month project is designed to process 700,000 barrels of crude oil daily and is expected to bring thousands of workers and businesses to Lamu.
