Kenya awards a contract for modernising the country’s busiest airport to a Chinese state-owned firm following the cancellation of an earlier deal connected to Adani, according to reporting. NDTV says Kenya is paying a 50% premium in connection with the new award. The contract moves forward plans that have been delayed for years, as the airport has been operating beyond its intended capacity. The reporting indicates the decision is aimed at upgrading airport infrastructure and expanding capacity to address ongoing strain on operations. The background includes the termination of the prior agreement, which NDTV links to the Adani cancellation, and the subsequent selection of the Chinese contractor. While details such as the total contract value and specific scope are not provided in the excerpt, the sources agree on the key points: the Chinese firm receives the award, Kenya pays a premium, and the project is intended to modernise an overburdened airport. The overall effect is to resume a long-stalled modernisation effort for the major hub.
