Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni supports the development of a large petroleum refinery in Lamu, Kenya, but has indicated Uganda will not currently invest in the project. Museveni revealed he had prior discussions with Aliko Dangote regarding the Dangote East Africa Refinery project, alongside Kenyan President William. Despite his support for the refinery’s construction in Lamu, Uganda is withholding financial commitment at this time. The decision suggests a cautious approach from Uganda regarding investment in the regional petroleum infrastructure. Further details on the reasons for the delayed Ugandan investment were not immediately available. This refinery is intended to serve the petroleum needs of East Africa. The project remains a key component of regional energy infrastructure.
