President William Ruto today directed Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir and his Energy counterpart Opiyo Wandayi to end the ongoing public-private partnership discussions with Adani Group Holdings.
Addressing the State on Thursday, November 21, during his State of the Nation address, the head of State revealed that his directive was influenced by the provision of undisputed evidence or credible information from national and international agencies on corruption.
“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,” stated the Head of State.
The decision to stop the government’s contractual engagements with the Adani Group stemmed from key transparency considerations that the deal had violated in earlier stages.
The U.S.A had today flagged Adani as an entity that had questionable characteristics and dealing across the world.
This saw the Indian conglomerate mount a response saying the allegations were baseless and would be dealt with in Court.
