Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has issued five demands to the Senate Committee on Energy over the construction of the Dangote oil refinery in Lamu County.
In a statement dated Friday, October 2, Sifuna said the details of the refinery should be made available to the public before the project begins.
He argued that the law requires public projects to conform with the values under Article 10 of the Constitution.
“Touted as one of the biggest projects under the current administration, it is imperative that details of the refinery in Lamu, including financial models, impact on community, level of investment by government, public participation and environmental impact, be made available to the nation before the project can commence,” read the request in part.
Senator Sifuna demanded that the committee should require the production of all records relating to the Dangote refinery project.
