VERBATIM: Planes have remained grounded with hundreds of passengers stranded at the airport. The government revealed that the build-and-operate agreement with India’s Adani Group would see the airport modernized and an additional runway and terminal constructed in exchange for the group running the airport for 30 years. Kenya Airport Workers Union said that the deal would lead to job losses and “inferior terms and conditions of service” for those who will remain.
