Ol Kalou MP Sammy Ngotho has questioned the urgency surrounding Kenya’s Lamu refinery project during a TV47 interview. The legislator compared the development approach to Aliko Dangote’s three-year establishment of his refinery in Nigeria.
Ngotho noted that Dangote took time to establish his refinery the right way in Nigeria. He argued that this methodical approach is why the company continues surviving and thriving in Nigeria.
“What is the urgency? What is this that is so urgent with having a refinery in Lamu that can’t wait for things to be done the right way?” Ngotho questioned. The MP’s remarks suggest concerns about bypassing proper procedures in project implementation.
Ngotho’s criticism highlights the tension between project speed and adherence to proper governance frameworks. His comments underscore the need for careful planning before major infrastructure investments commence.
