Kenya's Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir has denied any government links to controversial Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo regarding the planned upgrade of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

• The contract for the JKIA upgrade is expected to cost no more than Sh154.2 billion, not the widely reported Sh375 billion.
• Transport CS Davis Chirchir stated that Wicknell Chivayo and his associated companies were not involved in the bidding process and have no role in the project.
• The Kenya Airports Authority will implement the upgrade, which is a key infrastructure project for President William Ruto, despite public opposition and calls for transparency.
