It all boils down to transparency. When successive governments have driven public trust to the lowest levels, the best this one could do is be completely open about the JKIA strategy and implementation of the same.
Adani is not going to help us deliver Vision 2030.
As we discuss any PPP for JKIA, especially the Adani deal, please note JKIA contributes 90% to KAA revenues and, by extension, profit.
According to the Adani agreement, Kenya cannot build or expand another airport for 30

Parliament cannot treat public submissions as a secondary matter in the vetting exercise. Submissions should be at the heart of probing nominees’ suitability for appointment.

Jamila: Parliament received a total of 1368 memoranda in total. Out of these, Murkomen had the most petitions challenging his nomination at 92, followed by Joho at 72 and Duale 69

My conspiracy theory: Uhuru’s preferred successor in 2022 is “opposition candidate”
@WilliamsRuto

@EricLatiff
: Perhaps the plan is to make Ruto appear as the opposition, so that when Kenyans vote for 'change', they still vote for UhuRuto in 2022.
