By PAUL REDFERNMore by this AuthorThe UK-based company British American Tobacco (BAT) has again been accused of using unjustified practices to dilute plans to limit the sales of its products in Kenya. The case is now before the Supreme Court after BAT Kenya lost in the High Court and the Appeal Court. In neighbouring Uganda, BAT has claimed that Kampala’s Tobacco Control Act is “inconsistent with and in contravention of the Constitution”. The report also claims that the company is targeting children in its attempts to gain new sales, a claim BAT strongly denies. At the time, BAT told the BBC: “The truth is that we do not and will not tolerate corruption, no matter where it takes place.”BAT Kenya has approximately 450 full-time employees in Kenya.
