President William Ruto on Thursday, September 3, ordered the closure of Tata Chemicals Magadi Limited (TCML), accusing the company of failing to invest in Kajiado County despite operating there for decades.
“We have vast resources at Lake Magadi that can transform Kajiado County and our country, Kenya. That Tata Chemicals company has had a licence for 100 years but has not built anything in Kajiado or employed any people from Kajiado,” said Ruto.
Speaking in Oloiren, Kajiado County, Ruto accused the company of extracting resources from Lake Magadi and exporting them without sufficiently contributing to the local economy.
