SCANDAL REPUBLIC: ADANI THREATENS TO EXPOSE POLITICIANS RECEIVING BRIBES
Adani Group has escalated a controversy surrounding their takeover of Kenyan airports by threatening to reveal politicians allegedly bribed by them. The scandal erupted after a strike by Kenya Airports Authority workers, leading to significant disruptions. Adani defended their acquisition as the result of a legitimate procurement process but inadvertently disclosed their involvement with Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) as well. They now claim to have evidence of corrupt practices involving Kenyan politicians and have warned that they will expose those involved if defamatory remarks continue. This situation highlights pervasive corruption in Kenya's government and the need for greater transparency in public procurement.
