The Supreme Court has ordered the environmental pollution case against Base Titanium to proceed before the High Court in Mombasa.
Justice Philomena Mwilu, Smokin Wanjala, Njoki Ndungu, Issac Lenaola and Willis Ouko directed that the case before the Environment and Lands Court (ELC) should proceed for determination on its merits.
The judges struck out an appeal by Base Titanium dated August 29, 2025 that challenged the jurisdiction of ELC to hear and determine a pollution petition filed against it by Michael Kiswili on behalf of residents of Mavumo B village in Msambweni, Kwale County.
