Kenyan taxpayers are facing a potential legal bill of Sh243.2 million due to the scrapped plan to hand control of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to India's Adani Group.

• The Adani Group is the Indian company at the center of the controversial deal.
• The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is the government entity facing the large legal costs.
