Petitions on Adani Group deals to be heard
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka will be in court today as judges commence the hearing of a case against the Adani Group’s proposed takeover of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi.
Chief Justice Martha Koome last month appointed judges Jairus Ngaah, Moses Ado and Lucy Nguguna to hear the petitions against the Adani deals.
Kalonzo through his Wiper party communication team said he will be representing the people in the case.
This comes despite President William Ruto announcing last week in his state of the nation address that the government has cancelled all deals involving the Indian conglomerate after it was indicted in the US over bribery allegations.
The bench is today expected to start hearing the case.
