Sifuna Fires Back at President Ruto Over Dangote Refinery Agreement

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has hit back at President William Ruto after the Head of State questioned his push to have the Dangote Lamu Refinery agreement made public.

In a statement on Friday, October 2, Sifuna invoked Article 35 (1) of the Constitution, which guarantees citizens the right to access information held by the State.

The Nairobi Senator also cited Article 35(3), which provides that the State shall publish and publicize important information affecting the nation.

“Article 35 (1): Every citizen has the right of access to information held by the State.

“Article 35 (3): The State SHALL publish and publicise any important information affecting the nation,” Sifuna wrote.

Senator Sifuna argued that the disclosure of information is a requirement of the Constitution and should not be left to an individual’s discretion.

“Disclosure of information is a Constitutional imperative, not something left to the whims of one person,” Sifuna added.
