The Transport ministry has denied reports that it was in negotiations to pay more money to a Chinese firm that has slapped the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) with a Sh17.6 billion bill for an airport project that never took off.

Transport Principal Secretary (PS) Solomon Kitungu told MPs that a negotiations and strategy committee set up in April is seeking to reclaim an advance payment of Sh4.2 billion and not to pay more money to the Chinese firm.
