The High Court has upheld the environmental permit for the cooking gas plant that Lake Gas owns in Kilifi, handing the firm a major boost as it seeks to expand capacity of the facility.

Justice Evans Makori of the Environment and Land Court in Malindi revoked an earlier ruling by the National Environment Tribunal (NET), which had in March this year nullified the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) permit of the facility.
