Kenya has dismissed claims that its defence partnership with the United Kingdom has ended, saying the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) arrangement remains active despite a dispute over a planned military exercise.
The Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi said reports suggesting the UK-Kenya defence partnership had been terminated were inaccurate, adding did not reflect the current state of relations between the two countries.
“Such assertions are inaccurate and do not reflect the current status of the friendly engagement between the two governments,” the statement from Mudavadi’s office said.The clarification come after reports and speculation emerged over BATUK and ongoing military training arrangements between Kenya and the UK.
