President William Ruto with controversial Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo and Transport CS Davis Chirchir.
Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir has disputed claims that the planned upgrade of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport will cost taxpayers Sh375 billion, saying the contract will not exceed Sh154.2 billion.
Chirchir on Thursday, June 18, said the contract, which is yet to be signed, will be implemented by the Kenya Airports Authority. He cautioned, however, that the final cost could shift depending on the exchange rate.
The clarification comes amid reports that the contract had already been awarded to China Roads and Bridges Corporation and controversial Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo, and was awaiting signature.
