Tata Chemicals Magadi Limited has won a long-running dispute with Kajiado County after the Court of Appeal quashed a Sh17.4 billion demand for payment of land rates and royalties for exploiting soda ash.
A bench of three judges of the appellate court quashed the demand for payment, saying the Kajiado County Finance Act, 2014, which the devolved unit was using to demand the money, offended the Mining Act and Article 62(1) and (3) of the Constitution.
