UK agrees to pay Kenyans affected by military fire

The UK agrees to pay Kenyans affected by military fire in Lolldaiga conservancy, offering £2.9 million in an out-of-court settlement following a fire caused by a British military training exercise in 2021. Despite complaints about the compensation amounts being too small, the lawyer for 7,723 claimants called it the "best possible outcome" after a lengthy legal battle. The fire caused environmental damage and destruction of property, leading to litigation and ongoing controversy surrounding British military presence in Kenya.
