Kalonzo Musyoka Takes Legal Action Against Adani Group’s Takeover of JKIA
Today, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has delivered on his promise to challenge the controversial takeover of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) by the Adani Group. Arriving early this morning at the Milimani High Court, Musyoka, who is acting on behalf of the People of Kenya, presented a case that seeks to halt the Adani Group’s management of the vital national infrastructure.
“The sovereignty of our nation and the interests of the Kenyan people must come first,” Musyoka said, speaking to reporters before entering the courtroom. “This airport is not just a transport hub, it is a symbol of our independence and a critical asset that belongs to every Kenyan. We are taking a stand today, not just for our economy but for the future of our national security and development.”
The legal action follows growing concerns over the deal, which critics argue was entered into without sufficient public consultation, transparency, or consideration of the long-term implications for Kenya’s economic and strategic interests. The Wiper leader has called the agreement “highly questionable,” citing lack of accountability, potential loss of revenue, and fears of foreign control over essential infrastructure.
Musyoka emphasized that his legal challenge is rooted in protecting the rights of ordinary Kenyans who, he said, have not been adequately represented in the discussions surrounding the deal. He expressed concerns over the impact of privatization on job security, local businesses, and Kenya’s sovereignty in managing key national assets.
“We stand firm against any foreign entity taking control of JKIA in a manner that undermines Kenya’s control over its own destiny. This is a battle for the future of our children and for the prosperity of our nation,” he declared.
The Wiper leader’s case also highlights the lack of transparency in the awarding of the contract to the Adani Group, as well as potential violations of both national laws and international conventions. Legal experts believe this challenge could set a significant precedent for future privatization deals in the country.
As the case unfolds, Musyoka has called on fellow political leaders, civil society organizations, and concerned citizens to join the effort in protecting Kenya’s national interests. The court has scheduled a hearing for next week to determine the way forward.
“We are confident that the Kenyan judiciary will uphold the constitution and rule in favor of the people. We must ensure that all transactions, particularly those involving foreign interests in critical national infrastructure, are done in a way that serves the public good,” Musyoka concluded.
The outcome of this legal battle will be closely watched, as it could have significant implications for Kenya’s approach to foreign investment and the protection of its national assets.
