Kenya will withdraw from the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) by the end of December if it does not lift the caveat on Mau Forest, President William Ruto has said.

Speaking in Nakuru county during a development tour, Ruto accused the Arusha-based court of unnecessary delay in lifting a caveat on hectares of land hived off the expansive Mau Forest Complex for human settlements.
