Residents of Owino Uhuru slums in Mombasa will have to wait longer to see whether they will be paid Sh1.3 billion for inhaling poisonous emissions from a smelting factory after the Court of Appeal froze the compensation.
Appellate court judges ruled that the intended appeal by National Environment Management Authority (Nema) was arguable and it would be difficult to recover the money if the residents are paid and the government wins the appeal.
