Del Monte Kenya Limited has lost its bid to halt a legal costs claim of nearly Sh975 million. The Environment and Land Court in Murang'a ruled on July 22, 2026, that determining these costs is a standard part of concluding a lawsuit.

• Del Monte Kenya Limited is facing a claim for Sh975,113,854.34 in legal costs.
• The claim stems from a land dispute where Del Monte sued several government bodies and the Kandara Residents Association was an interested party.
• The court dismissed Del Monte's application to stop the cost assessment process, stating it did not meet the necessary legal conditions.
