Kenyan taxpayers face a massive Sh243.2 million legal bill, nearly 20 times the original budget, for the cancelled plan to privatize Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to India’s Adani Group.

• The legal bill of Sh243.2 million stems from the botched privatization deal for JKIA.
• The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) sent an advisory letter to the Ministry of Transport on September 25 detailing the financial fallout.
• The multibillion-shilling deal was ultimately scrapped last year by President William Ruto.
