Two months after President William Ruto announced that Kenya had canceled its deals with the controversial Indian conglomerate Adani, concerns have been raised that there is no evidence that the deals were indeed withdrawn.
Speaking during the State of the Nation address on November 21, 2024, in Parliament, President Ruto announced that after much consideration and listening to Kenyans, he had decided to cancel both the KETRACO and JKIA deals over Adani's corruption allegations by the US. "I have stated in the past, and I reiterate today, that in the face of undisputed evidence or credible information on corruption, I will not hesitate to take decisive action," Ruto stated at the time.
While giving their submissions on the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO)-Adani case filed by Kalonzo Musyoka and other leaders challenging the deal, lawyer Ndegwa Njiru raised the alarm that there has been no further evidence that the deals were canceled since Ruto's pronouncements.
