Kenya's President William Ruto has revealed that the country's $2 trillion Dangote East Africa Oil Refinery in Lamu County was conceived as a way to shield Kenya and the wider region from disruptions in the global oil supply chain.

The refinery, which is expected to be completed soon, will create jobs and attract investment while supporting the development of industries linked to petroleum processing, according to Ruto.

Ruto explained that the idea for the project gained momentum after Kenya experienced challenges in accessing fuel during disruptions linked to tensions in the Middle East.
