The public procurement watchdog has nullified a decision of the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to terminate a Sh117 million tender for the installation of security check systems in five airports, including Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

The project, which had a budget of Sh166 million, was terminated in April 2024 due to insufficient funds, despite KAA having commenced a new procurement process with a budget of Sh284 million.
