Speaking at
the Kenya Industrialisation Summit in Nairobi on November 4, 2026, Ruto
announced that construction is underway at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport
under a new Sh154.2 billion contract with China Road and Bridge Corporation.
The project, which includes a new passenger
terminal and upgrades to existing facilities, follows the 2024 cancellation of
a controversial deal with India's Adani Group and targets completion around
March 2028.
Ruto tied the effort to boosting manufacturing and investment, while some online voices express hope and others question past timelines.
