The high court has referred a case challenging the government's plan to lease JKIA to the Adani group to Chief Justice Martha Koome to constitute a bench that will hear and determine the matter.
Justice John Chigiti said the issues raised by the Kenya Human Rights Commission and Law Society of Kenya are weighty and require the mind of more than one Judge.
When the case was filed, the Judge issued an order prohibiting any person from implementing or acting on the privately initiated Adani proposal over JKIA pending the conclusion of the court case.
The duo argued that leasing a strategic and profitable Airport such as JKIA to a private entity is irrational.
They based their argument on claims of principles of good governance, accountability, transparency and prudent use of public money being violated.
