The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) has opened a probe into State helicopter hire contracts awarded to a private aviation firm owned by a sitting director of the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA).

This follows revelations that Pro Flight Limited secured more than 90 percent of the government contracts in the last three financial years. The company is owned by Liltasayon Neepe, a retired Kenya Air Force officer and a current KAA board member.
