The Supreme Court has dealt a significant blow to the residents of Kibos, rejecting their petition to hear a pollution dispute filed against the company.
On August 4, 2020, the court made the decision, effectively dismissing the residents' efforts to hold the company accountable for the environmental damage caused by its operations.
The residents had filed the petition in a bid to seek justice for the harm caused by the company's activities, which they alleged had led to severe pollution in the area.
