Leaders and residents from Lamu have called for transparency in the proposed Sh2.2 trillion oil refinery project linked to Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, saying so far the deal has been shrouded in secrecy.
They also said the government's delay in making public the information on the project has led to anxiety and speculation about its possible effects on the environment and whether they will benefit from the investment.
However, community spokesman, Omar Sharif, said residents were not opposed to the investment but wanted full participation in decision-making and a fair share of the economic opportunities from the project.
