The High Court has sided with a Chinese firm in a protracted dispute over a prime parcel of land on a creek off the Indian Ocean in Kilifi, a decision that leaves a Sh40 billion maritime project hanging in the balance.

China Communication Construction Company (CCCC) has received a reprieve with the courts allowing it to continue occupying the 4.844-acre parcel even as fresh questions emerge over true ownership of the contested site within Kilifi Creek Mangrove Area.
