The Kenya Electricity Transmission has awarded Adani Group and a unit of the African Development Bank a public-private partnership concession to construct high-voltage power linesaccording to an adviser of the East African nation’s president.
“Govt through Ketraco has awarded PPP concessions to Adani and Africa50 to build new transmission lines,” David Ndii, chairman of President William Ruto’s Council of Economic Advisors, said in a post on these transmission lines is $1.3 billion that we do not have to borrow.”
Many Kenyans have been angry about a separate proposal to grant another unit of the Adani Group a 30-year concession to run the nation’s largest airport. Aviation workers held a one-day stoppage last week to protest those plans.
