President William Ruto yesterday described those who opposed the controversial Adani deal to expand Jomo Kenya International Airport as villains and denied owning part of Mr Narendra Raval's steel manufacturing empire.

A visibly agitated Ruto said the claims he had shares in the Devki Group of Companies are being perpetuated by naysayers and “unpatriotic leaders" out to derail his administration's development plans.
