Tata Chemicals Magadi warns 500 jobs at risk amid mining shutdown dispute

Tata Chemicals Magadi Limited has warned that over 500 jobs are at risk as a legal battle over the shutdown of its mines intensifies. The multinational has told the court that the suspension of its licence was unprocedural. Tata Chemicals has opposed an application by the Kajiado County Government to halt court proceedings challenging the shutdown, saying that any further delays prolong its inability to meet its contractual obligations.
