The dispute centred on a demand by the County Government of Kajiado, Kenya, for unpaid land rates alleged to be owed by Tata Chemicals Magadi Ltd. The company occupies a large land area in the Magadi region under lease. The applicable laws included the Kajiado County Finance Act and the County Rating Act.
In January 2024, officials from Kajiado County shut down the depot of Tata Chemicals Magadi over alleged non-payment of land rates.
In January and March 2025, rulings by the Environment & Land Court at Kajiado handed favourable decisions to the company, restraining interference with its business operations pending the main suit resolution.
