Kenya plans to fund the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) expansion and other infrastructure projects by issuing a Ksh175.75 billion ($1.36 billion) securitised bond next month, instead of relying on traditional sovereign debt. This strategy leverages the airport's revenues to attract investment.

• The bond will be issued both locally and internationally.
• Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir stated this approach shifts the financial burden from the national balance sheet to the asset itself.
• The Ksh258.46 billion ($2 billion) JKIA expansion will include a second runway and a new terminal building, with funding secured against the airport's future income streams.
