Kenya Airport Deal Controversy Over the weekend, the Adani Group responded to reports that Kenya canceled deals worth over $2.5 billion following allegations of bribery in the U.S. The group clarified it had not entered into any binding agreements to operate Kenya's main airport.
Adani Enterprises, which oversees the group's airport ventures, stated it had incorporated a subsidiary in Kenya in August to modernize and manage airports. However, no definitive contracts were signed.
In response to allegations of a canceled electricity transmission project in Kenya, the group explained the deal did not require disclosure under Indian market regulations, as no binding agreements had been finalized.
This clarification comes amid increased scrutiny after Kenyan President William Ruto reportedly ordered the cancellation of procurement processes linked to the project.
