Kenya’s High Court has temporarily blocked a proposed 30-year lease of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to India’s Adani Group, pending a judicial review. The Law Society of Kenya and the Kenya Human Rights Commission argued that the deal was unaffordable, risky, and would not provide value for taxpayers. The court’s decision comes after the Kenya Aviation Workers Union threatened a strike over the deal, fearing job losses and the introduction of foreign workers.
