UK Reinstates Cancelled September BATUK Military Training, Mudavadi Confirms

The government of the United Kingdom has reinstated a cancelled military training set for September in Laikipia, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has confirmed.

The training at the British Army Training Unit of Kenya (BATUK) centre in Laikipia was initially cancelled on Thursday, July 23, after the government of Kenya and the UK failed to agree on conditions for the renewal of licenses.
"The Government of Kenya welcomes the decision for the planned military training exercise at the British Army Training Unit Kenya to proceed," Mudavadi said.

He added, "This outcome reflects the strength of the longstanding partnership between Kenya and the United Kingdom, built over decades on mutual respect, constructive engagement and a shared commitment to peace and security."
