The plan to construct a new Sh56 billion terminal at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi has been shelved, putting an end to the project which was among the first ones President Uhuru Kenyatta launched upon coming to power in June 2013.
Transport secretary James Macharia told the Business Daily that the cancellation of the plan was informed by a recent finding that the terminal would yield little value for money and that the funds are better used constructing a second runway.
