Kenya’s plan to acquire a fleet of military aircraft worth Sh43 billion from the United States has been left hanging in the balance after the government failed to enter a binding transaction agreement with the vendors within the set deadline.
The US Congress investigative arm, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), says Kenya failed to commit to the deal for the purchase of 12 militarised Air Tractors alongside rocket launchers, machine guns and guided bombs whose order was first made in December 2015.
