Political commentator Abraham Amenya has sparked public interest once again after sharing claims about a confidential deal said to involve operations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
According to Amenya, the alleged agreement involves unnamed parties from both the public and private sectors. He claims the deal may have been made without proper public engagement or parliamentary review, raising concerns about transparency.
In a widely shared social media post, Amenya stated, “This is not just about JKIA—it’s about how public assets are being handled behind closed doors.” His remarks have since drawn thousands of reactions from Kenyans online.
Reports suggest the deal could involve long-term management rights over terminal services and cargo operations. This has led to concerns that it may open the door to possible full privatization of JKIA, one of East Africa’s busiest airports.
Several aviation sector representatives have expressed their reservations, warning of potential job losses and the impact on national interests.
As of now, the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has not issued a formal response to the allegations. However, pressure is building on oversight institutions and lawmakers to investigate the matter further.
Amenya has hinted at releasing additional information in the coming days, keeping the story in the national spotlight.
