Dozens of people have this week given evidence to the parliamentary inquiry into the alleged misconduct of soldiers from the British Army Training Unit Kenya (Batuk). The UK High Commission in Kenya told the BBC it was aware of the proceedings and that it - and Batuk - intended to cooperate with the inquiry. Lino Lemaramba told the BBC he witnessed the accident and was shocked to see the British army truck drive away after the collision. “It was a Batuk truck, I tried to stop it but it kept moving,” he alleged. More than 7,000 local people are believed to have started legal action against the British army following the fire.
