Battle over Sh250m JKIA parking deal hots upTwo firms battling for control of the multi-million-shilling automated car parking system at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) yesterday renewed their rivalry in court.During the hearing before High Court judge Pauline Nyamweya, the controversy on the ownership of Kenya Airports Parking Services (KAPS) and whether it lied about its directorship in winning renewal of the Sh250 million contract took centre stage. The firm was consequently stripped of the contract it had held for 21 years, but it appealed the board’s decision.

KAPS on its part insisted that it is Kenyan-owned, although shareholding is controlled by a foreign company known as KAPS Holdings Mauritius. The judge heard that although KAPS Mauritius had allegedly decided to allot shares to KAPS Kenya directors, there was no evidence to show that before the board.
