KDF Troops in Lamu Ordered to Protect LAPSSET Corridor and Dangote Refinery
KDF Central Command Chief instructs troops to safeguard key infrastructure
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Central Command Chief, Major General William Kamoiro, has instructed troops in the Boni Enclave to protect the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport corridor and the proposed Dangote East Africa petroleum refinery in Lamu.
The LAPSSET corridor is a key transport and infrastructure programme, while the Dangote refinery is still in the proposal stage. A secure environment is necessary to protect workers and surrounding communities and to allow these major development projects to proceed.
Troop Welfare and Security
Major General Kamoiro also addressed personnel welfare, urging soldiers to manage their finances prudently and to remain vigilant against security threats in the enclave.
