"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing on the leasing of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport under the Build, Operate and Transfer Model of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) to a private company. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Inform this House, whether the Report, which was done on 19th June, 2018, was adopted. The Report was done by the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. It was on the inquiry into the proposed Kenya Airways privately initiated investment proposal to Kenya Airports Authority. I want the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to confirm whether they have entered into an agreement with MS Adani Commercial Limited, a private company, to lease out JKIA under the Build Operate Transform Model of PPP and if so, state the terms of this agreement and indicate the associated costs to be incurred by the airlines and other users of JKIA, if any; (2) Table the contract documents of this agreement or any other agreement that has been signed in the Senate and indicate the ownership of MS Adani Commercial Limited, the processes undertaken to identify and award the lease and state whether there was public participation in the process; (3) State whether a proper tendering process of this agreement was done, and disclose the details of the award of the contract, the number of bids received, the criteria used in selecting the company awarded, as well as the cost of the award; (4) Provide the details of the contract between the Kenya Airports Authority, MENSES ALG, a Spanish company, that transacted as the advisor to this deal, indicating the ownership of the company, the processes undertaken to identify the award of contract, to develop an air transport policy for Kenya and the subsequent payment of the Kshs160 million to this company; (5) Furnish the Senate with the notices of meetings, the agendas and the minutes, and resolutions which the board of KAA passed on the 15th, July 2024; and finally, (6) Inform this House, whether the Government plans, as it has been stated by the MOU that is available, whether the Government is planning to avail free land to this company known as MS Adani to build a city state side development on this land, which may lead to many disputes and issues on that land, and tell us whether the Ministry of Land has been involved in this transaction also. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
