Legal Developments in Dandora Pollution, Nandi Hills Assault, and Anglo Leasing Cases - February 2026

The Environment and Land Court has ordered Nairobi County Government and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) to pay Ksh25.8 million to 1,032 waste pickers at the Dandora dumpsite. The court found that prolonged air pollution at the dumpsite violated the pickers’ constitutional rights. In a separate case, Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga has urged the Court of Appeal to reject attempts by Rashmi Chamanlal Kamani and Deepak Kumar Kamani to delay the ongoing Anglo Leasing corruption trial, emphasizing the need for justice to proceed. Additionally, Nandi Senator Kiprotich Cherargei denounced the transfer of senior police officers implicated in the Nandi Hills assault case as a "travesty of justice," calling for disciplinary action and criminal prosecution instead.
