The Kenyan government, through the Attorney-General, has asked the High Court to dismiss a petition challenging the procurement process for the expansion of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

• The State argues the petition by COFEK was filed prematurely and bypassed established legal mechanisms.
• The dispute centers around Tender No. SDAAD/OT/001/2025-2026 for the multi-billion-shilling project.
• The government maintains the procurement process is ongoing and no contract has been awarded, dismissing COFEK's claims as based on speculation from media reports.
