The Senate has called for the shelving of the controversial Sh230 billion plan to hand over the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to India’s Adani Airport Holdings.

This even as the State denied the existence of a concession deal with the firm, details of which have sparked public outrage in recent weeks.

It also emerged that the Kenyan government had only done desktop due diligence to the consternation of senators who spoke of frozen Adani accounts by Swiss authorities.
