The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) has filed a lawsuit seeking to halt the Sh375 billion redevelopment of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), citing a lack of transparency regarding the project's financing and ownership structures.

• The project's estimated cost is Sh375 billion.
• The lawsuit names the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), National Treasury, and Attorney-General as respondents.
• COFEK is particularly questioning the involvement of IMC Construction Kenya Ltd, a firm reportedly linked to Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo.

There is significant public outcry and calls for transparency regarding a secret Sh180 billion deal for the upgrade of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), with a Chinese firm reportedly leading the process.

• The contract is reportedly valued between Sh160 billion and Sh180 billion.
• Key organizations involved include the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), the Ministry of Roads and Transport, and a Chinese firm, potentially China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC).
• Concerns have been raised about the alleged involvement of Wicknell Chivayo, a Zimbabwean businessman, in the joint venture, with civil society groups and legislators threatening legal action and demanding full disclosure.

A new legal dispute has erupted over the Sh715 billion National Social Security Fund (NSSF) scheme in Kenya, with the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) stating there's no legal basis for the current enhanced contribution deductions.

• The LSK asserts that a September 2022 Employment and Labour Relations Court judgment declaring the NSSF Act, 2013 unconstitutional remains operative.
• Key players include the LSK, Senator Okiya Omtatah, and NSSF officials.
• The controversy centers on the shift from a flat-rate contribution of Sh200 to a phased earnings-based system, with contributions now reaching up to Sh6,480 per worker per month.
