Cofek loses bid to uncover secret Dangote refinery deal with Kenya

A tribunal has rejected a demand by the Consumers Federation of Kenya (Cofek) for disclosure of the government’s stake in the planned Sh2.2 billion oil refinery in Lamu County and other secret commitments between the State and Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote.

The Public Private Partnership Petition Committee dismissed Cofek’s petition, saying it failed to prove that the refinery was a public-private-partnership (PPP) project.
