Britain bayar pampasan RM16 juta kepada mangsa kebakaran Kenya

AI Summary

The British government will pay £2.9 million (RM16 million) to thousands of Kenyans affected by a 2021 wildfire sparked during British Army training. The settlement follows a lengthy legal battle by local communities who claim the fire caused lifelong health problems, property damage, and environmental contamination. Some even reported losing family members due to illnesses related to the fire, which destroyed over 4,046 hectares. While the UK government agreed to the payment, it did not admit liability. Many recipients, receiving an average of RM719 each, expressed disappointment with the amount after four years of legal proceedings.
