Adani Out, China In: Why Is Kenya's New JKIA Deal Sh137 Billion More Expensive?

When the government abruptly pulled the plug on the controversial JKIA deal with India's Adani Group, many Kenyans breathed a sigh of relief. The project had become a lightning rod for public anger. Questions swirled around transparency, value for money, and the wisdom of effectively handing over the country's most important airport to a foreign company for decades.

The scenario paints a picture of a deeply embattled Ruto, besieged from all sides, yet tenaciously standing his ground amid the escalating political turbulence in Mount Kenya.

These are the days of miracles and wonder. What a time to be alive!
