Speaking at a campaign event, Nyambaka said that if he becomes Kenya’s president, his administration would prioritise local businesses and domestic industries rather than rely on foreign investors.
He specifically warned Dangote against rushing to begin operations in the country, claiming that Kenya already has the capacity and local business interests needed to handle the refinery project.

“I want to tell Dangote, please don’t hurry up to start the refinery because by next year February, the time I’m sworn in as the president of this country, you’ll be back going to Nigeria.
“We have refinery which can do that job. We also have business people in this country who can do that job,” he added.
