Kenya's High Court has declined to block the Dangote refinery project in Lamu, allowing Wednesday's groundbreaking ceremony to proceed despite a pending land dispute involving at least 133 residents of Chandavai who claim generations of occupation and use of the land.
A Lamu court ordered that the status quo be maintained on disputed land in the Hindi/Manda Magogoni area while more than 130 Chandavai residents challenge what they describe as an unlawful takeover of their ancestral land. The court set an inter partes hearing for October 14, 2026, and gave respondents 14 days to file their responses.
President William Ruto said the planned East Africa Refinery in Lamu will open up a Sh2 trillion investment opportunity, create about 60,000 jobs, and supply petroleum products to eight countries in the region. The project is scheduled to be formally launched on Wednesday, September 30, with a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of construction.
Residents of Chandavai in Lamu County have sued the government, the Lamu County Government, Dangote Industries, and contractors, claiming unlawful takeover and destruction of land their families have occupied and used for generations for farming, livestock keeping, and housing. The plaintiffs seek court intervention to stop construction and excavation on the disputed land.
