Lucy Hannan.Photo/the-star.co.keA British journalist who has been fighting a court case to stay in the country, has finally won the case.
Lucy Hannan was allowed to reside in the country after the High Court ruled it was unprocedural for the government to refuse to renew her working permit.
"The respondent's decision arrived at on October 16, 2013, refusing to renew her work permit, was contrary to the constitution, Fair Administrative Act, as well as Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011," Justice Isaac Lenaola ruled on Thursday.
Justice Lenaola directed the Director General of Kenya Citizens and Foreign National Management Services to extend Hannan's work permit for two more years.
Hannan is a former BBC journalist and has lived in the country since 1988.
