State overlooks better offer on JKIA expansion, prefers Adani

The process of allowing Adani Group to upgrade and run the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), contradicted the government’s own feasibility study. But, in a case of fiscal mismanagement, authorities were quick to pick Adani’s offer.

The Standard has combed through two feasibility reports, one commissioned by Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and another by the Adani Group and now reveals the disregard for financial frugality by authorities, thereby loading the taxpayer with a burden of over Sh25 billion.
