Kenyan military on the spot over defective Jordan aircraft

Kenya's military bought seven defective combat aircraft from the Royal Jordan Air Force it has not used for the past 10 years, bringing into question whether the public got value for money in the 2007 deal.

Auditor-General Edward Ouko says audit verification of the aircraft, procured at an initial cost of $15,291,503 (Sh1.58 billion at current rate), shows that the defects identified at the time of delivery had not been rectified as at the date of inspection in June 2016.
