- Rendeavour’s Kenya head Preston Mendenhall reported that governors, including Kimani Wamatangi, demanded 54 acres of Tatu City, valued at $33 million, as intimidation tactics.
- Tatu City attracts over 100 businesses such as Heineken and Dormans coffee, supports 25,000 workers, and benefits from reliable self-generated power and water.
