Telecoms giant Safaricom #ticker:SCOM has won a reprieve after the Environment and Land Court (ELC) struck out a case filed by Mombasa residents seeking to prevent it from erecting a base transceiver station on land in Mwembe Tayari on claims that it posed a health hazard.

The judge upheld an application by the firm seeking to strike out the suit on the basis that the case was improperly before court since residents did not follow relevant mechanisms of dispute- resolution.
