Local courts have jurisdiction to hear and determine matters involving the British Army Training Unit in Kenya (Batuk), a Lands Court has ruled.
In a suit pitting Batuk against the Lolldaiga community, Justice Antonina Kossy Bor of the Environment Court in Nanyuki found that the United Kingdom (UK) government waived its state of immunity by signing the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA), implemented in 2016.
