The British High Commission in Kenya has expressed disappointment after its formal submission to a parliamentary inquiry into the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) was omitted from the final report by the National Assembly’s Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committee.

• The UK fully cooperated, providing a detailed response to address concerns, but the submission was not incorporated into the report's conclusions.
• The Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’Oei stated that the Kenyan government aligns with the UK’s position, emphasizing the importance of sustained defence cooperation.
• The Committee’s 94-page report, concluding a two-year investigation, accuses British soldiers of decades of sexual abuse, killings, environmental destruction, human rights violations, and labour misconduct in Laikipia and Samburu counties.
• One prominent case highlighted is the 2012 murder of 21-year-old Agnes Wanjiru in Nanyuki, with a former British soldier arrested last month in the UK now facing extradition.
