在接受英国广播公司（BBC）采访时，非洲首富Dangote（丹格特）驳斥了这些抗议活动，称其是当地营销商和国际参与者所玩弄的把戏，并坚称该炼油厂将按计划推进，并将于2030年如期建成投产。

该炼油厂有望成为东非唯一的此类设施，同时也是肯尼亚（Kenya）自独立以来最大的基础设施项目，超越了耗资51亿美元（约合39亿英镑）的Standard Gauge Railway（标准轨距铁路）项目。

在接受英国广播公司（BBC）“聚焦非洲”（Focus on Africa）节目采访时，丹格特（Dangote）驳斥了赔偿要求，并表示该公司仅从政府提供的土地中征用了其所需的部分。

“有人跑来说有人在示威，示威抗议的是什么？你见过有人在发展问题上示威反对自身吗？”他问道，表明他并未因此次抗议活动而感到困扰。

拯救拉穆 (Save Lamu) 运动组织的联合创始人瓦利德·阿里 (Walid Ali) 告诉英国广播公司 (BBC)，他们担心该项目可能对当地社区产生的环境影响。

阿里（Ali）表示：“我们要求提供环境影响评估的调查结果，以便我们了解拟议的缓解措施。”

他补充说，这并非我们首次看到环境问题被忽视的项目。

批评人士对在肯尼亚（Kenya）建造炼油厂的决定提出了质疑，因为肯尼亚（Kenya）并非一个产油国。另一些人则建议选择坦桑尼亚（Tanzania）或乌干达（Uganda），这两个国家目前都正通过东非原油管道（East African Crude Oil Pipeline）推进石油出口。

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote and Kenya's President William Ruto are set to break ground on a $16bn (£12bn) oil refinery in Lamu, on Kenya's northern coast.

Upon completion, the refinery is expected to process 700,000 barrels of crude oil a day, making it East Africa's largest industrial project by capacity.

Ahead of the launch, some local residents took to the streets to demand more compensation for land used for the refinery.

Speaking to the BBC, Dangote, who is Africa's richest man, dismissed the protests as games played by local marketers and international players, insisting the refinery would go ahead and would be ready by 2030 as planned.

The refinery is set to become the only one in East Africa and is Kenya's largest infrastructure project since independence, surpassing the $5.1bn (£3.9bn) Standard Gauge Railway.

In his interview with the BBC's Focus on Africa programme, Dangote disputed the compensation claims and said the company took only the portion of land it needed from what the government made available.

"To come and say some people are demonstrating, demonstrating about what? Have you ever seen people demonstrating against themselves in terms of development?" he asked, indicating he was not fazed by the protests.
