MPs Question Transfer of Sh154 Billion JKIA Project Procurement from KAA to Ministry

Members of Parliament have raised questions regarding the transfer of the procurement process for the Sh154 billion Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) modernisation project from the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to the Ministry of Roads and Transport. During an inspection of the ongoing airport development project, the National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure sought updates on the implementation of JKIA’s master plan, progress made so far, and challenges affecting the airport’s expansion.

CRBC, the contractor undertaking the project, presented its proposed modern terminal design and highlighted their experience in undertaking major airport infrastructure projects. Lawmakers expressed concerns over why the procurement process had been moved from KAA to the Ministry and sought evidence that local companies and workers would be meaningfully involved in the project.
