Supreme Court to Hear Appeal over Sh17bn Award to Narok Investor

Kenya’s Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Attorney-General’s appeal against a Sh17.3 billion award to a Narok investor. The investor sought compensation after the State failed to stop locals from invading his ranch and destroying property more than three decades ago. A five-judge bench led by Chief Justice Martha Koome ruled that the case falls within the court’s jurisdiction because it raises questions about the interpretation and application of the Constitution.
