The High Court has directed the government to provide evidence supporting claims that the Adani-JKIA deal has been canceled.

The order was issued by Justice Bahati Mwamuye following a request by Advocate Ezra Makori, representing the Adani Group, to be excused from the case, citing the project's cancellation.

However, the petitioners—Tony Gachoka and the Mt. Kenya Jurists—challenged this assertion, arguing there is no proof that President Ruto's directive to terminate the contract has been implemented.

Represented by Senior Counsel Kalonzo Musyoka, alongside Advocates Kibe Mungai, Dan Maanzo, and Eugene Wamalwa, the petitioners insisted on accountability from those who initiated the disputed project. They emphasized the importance of public interest litigation in addressing controversies involving public assets.

Kibe argued that the case must proceed to its conclusion, highlighting their challenge to the constitutionality of provisions in the PPP Act, which formed the basis for the Adani-JKIA deal. Kalonzo further stated, "This is a matter of high-level corruption. We need clarity on what has actually been canceled."

Justice Mwamuye also issued an order preventing Adani or any other entity from taking over operations at JKIA until the case is resolved, ensuring the matter remains under judicial review.
