Kenya President Ruto Ousts Tata Chemicals From Magadi
· Business · Bloomberg, India Today, Moneycontrol
Kenyan President William Ruto has ordered Tata Chemicals Ltd. to vacate its century-old mining operations in Magadi. The president stated that the Mumbai-based company was instructed to "pack and go" due to its practice of exporting raw soda ash rather than processing it locally. Ruto is currently seeking new investors to take over the mining rights for the mineral deposits. The government aims to shift the focus toward local manufacturing of glass and chemicals using the extracted resources.
