Adani Group’s ambitious plan to manage Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport faces hurdles. Discover the reasons behind it.
Kenya’s High Court has temporarily suspended the 15,535 Crore agreement to transfer control of the airport to the Adani Group.
Kenya’s aviation union opposes the deal, warning it could lead to job losses and the replacement of local workers with foreign employees.
Human rights groups claim the deal is unconstitutional, criticising the lack of transparency and questioning its financial implications for Kenya.
The Kenyan government supports the deal, stating that it will improve airport capacity and that private investment is crucial given fiscal constraints.
The deal remains suspended until further legal reviews are completed, with public-private partnership laws under scrutiny.
