Leaking Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) roofs cost taxpayers Sh175 million, but even with the high cost, Kenya Airport Authority (KAA) still hired an incompetent contractor exposing Kenya to international ridicule, the Auditor-General has revealed.

In an audit interrogating the leaking roofs at JKIA Nancy Gathungu has criticised the work done by the contractor hired to implement ‘waterproofing and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)’ at JKIA’s Terminal 1B & C, noting that taxpayers did not get value for the Sh175 million paid.
