A Malindi Environment and Land Court has issued a temporary injunction halting the groundbreaking of the proposed Dangote refinery in Lamu County, Kenya. The court order suspends the multibillion-shilling project until the hearing and determination of a legal application filed by Salim Tima Swale and 132 other petitioners.

The legal challenge seeks to address concerns regarding the development, though the specific grounds for the objection were not detailed in the provided reports. The court's intervention effectively pauses the project's commencement, pending further judicial review of the case.
