The government will pay an additional Sh4.7 billion to two Chinese contractors as a part of an out-of-court settlement for the cancellation of a tender to build the second terminal at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) eight years ago.

A new document from the National Treasury has disclosed that the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and a joint venture of two Chinese firms — Anhui Civil Engineering Group (ACEG) and China Aero Technology Engineering International Corporation (Catic) — reached a final agreement early this year.
