While we are discussing Adani, let us discuss something related to him first. You know that Hindenburg’s good report to stop Adani had come recently, and till now Hindenburg has not stopped. After Adani, Hindenburg has now taken the name of SEBI chief, and recently he also mentioned Adani’s accounts at Swiss Bank being frozen. Now come to the topic – Kenya Airport Workers Protest Deal with Adani Group
Now let's come to the main topic:
Adani has already moved ahead in India, and now he is trying to move outside India, this way, he has reached Africa outside India. There is an African country, Kenya, where he took on the work of airport development, but the workers of Kenya gathered and started protesting. They are saying “Reject Adani” We will not let Adani work here. Kenyan workers say that a person who can commit fraud in India, what will he do here?
This demonstration is being done by standing outside the airport of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, and some workers went on strike because Adani’s company was taking the responsibility of maintenance of this airport, due to which all the work here came to a standstill and the stalled work caused a big hindrance in the travel of people.
Soon the news became an international headline that saw Adani, Adani and his Kenyan deal uncovered flights grounded at Kenya airport workers strike. Kenyan airport workers say that if Adani works here, they will be removed from the job and people will be called from India and employed, which will not be right for us in the future.
The arrival of such news becomes a matter of thought. The thing to think about is that the Kenya Aviation Workers Union, speaking on its behalf, said that we are going on strike. The main reason is that we do not want to give our airport to Adani based on Adani.
| Key Points | Details |
|---|
| Adani Group’s Expansion into Kenya | Adani Group signed a deal with the Kenyan government for the development of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi. |
| Public-Private Partnership Model | The $750 million deal was under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model for airport development. |
| Kenyan Workers’ Concerns | Kenyan airport workers fear job losses, alleging Adani will replace them with Indian employees. |
| Protest at Nairobi Airport | Workers at JKIA organized a protest and strike, leading to flight cancellations and grounding of services. |
| Allegations of Corruption | Workers and unions accused Adani of fraud in India, voicing concerns about similar issues in Kenya. |
| Impact on the Indian Image | Social media users in Kenya labeled Adani as corrupt, tarnishing the image of Indian businesses abroad. |
| Kenya’s Court Intervention | The Kenyan court halted the project amid protests and rising concerns from workers and the public. |
The airport in Nairobi is named Jomo Keita International Airport, which is called JK IA in short form. A deal was made between Adani and the Kenyan government for its development. There is good tourism in Kenya, there is Masai Mara, there is a national park there, and people go there for tourism in large numbers.
Adani came here to do this work on the PPM model, he came on the public-private partnership model where the government and we will have a joint share and made an expansion plan and said that we will invest 750 million dollars here.
In such a situation, the more Nairobi develops, the more the Kenyan government will benefit from tourism. But if you look at the tweets against him on social media, it is being written about Adani that Adani will expel the employees of Kenya’s airport, Adani will replace all our employees with employees from India and bring them here. Adani will charge the fees of Kenya airport in US dollars.
What has become of the image of Indians in Kenya? The corrupt Indians are finally here. That is, where earlier Indians were treated as honest and hardworking people all over the world, today the words Corrupt Indians are Finally Here are being used for them, and photos of Indians are being tagged here. In such a situation, these people say that if Adani comes here, he will take over the whole of Kenya.
It will be worth seeing how much our national and political issues damage our reputation at the international level. In such a situation, the aviation workers of Kenya said on their behalf that if India tied up with Adani, we would go on strike, and by doing the same, these people have made preparations to go on strike here.
The headline in Kenya magazine is The King of Fraud, and they are facing strong opposition here in the name of fraud. Seeing this, the Kenya government court put their work on hold.
