Few weeks ago, there was a public outrage over claims that the government was in the process of leasing the airport to an Indian company.
The deal was to see the agency renovate the airport and run it for 30 years and own 18% of it for life after that. This allegations were made by a Kenyan journalist based in France.
The claims triggered Kisii senator, Onyonka to write to the Senate committee demanding answers from the ministry of transport and the airport authority.
