The controversy over planned takeover of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by Kenya Airways has raised a lot of debates.
The current parlaimentary report revealing that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s family is also among the top people who are interested to take over JKIA.
This idea of Privatization of JKIA has been opposed by many people including the workers at the JKIA who think this deal is ill intended.
Embakasi East Member of Parliament has also joined in defense of what he describes as fraudulent deal.
Paul Ongiri described the practice as immoral and that is aimed at rendering the people jobless.
The workers union says there was no feasibility study prior to the decision that addresses the financial, legal and technical aspects of the project that will satisfy the public that the investment is justifiable in all the four corners.
They are concerned that KAA has rushed to hire consultants to advise on the project in an environment of secrecy and confidentiality.
“There is a real, live and serious threat to the job security, and stability of the persons who work at the airport as well as other stakeholders working and carrying out operations at the JKIA.” But Transport Secretary James Macharia has maintained that there would be no job losses.
