accused the company of exporting raw materials to India while failing to employ
locals or construct anything in Kajiado, ordering it to vacate immediately for
a new investor required to build glass and chemical plants that create Kenyan
jobs.
The directive follows a July 29 suspension over issues like unpaid royalties, poor local hiring, and environmental lapses, putting 500 direct jobs and support for 30,000 people at risk.
While some residents demand reversal to protect livelihoods and water supplies, Ruto insists future operators must deliver real gains like skills transfer and infrastructure, amid political backlash calling it economic sabotage.
