Tanzania's appeal to block a case against the construction of a highway across the Serengeti National Park was dismissed on Thursday by the East African Court of Justice.
The Appellate Division of the regional court ruled that EACJ has full jurisdiction to hear the case because the park was part of the transnational ecosystem straddling Kenya and Tanzania.
Reading the ruling at the court chambers on Moshi Road, judge James Ogola said matters pertaining to environmental conservation cut across nation states and are included in the EAC Treaty.
