A Chinese contractor pocketed Sh4 billion for a project that never took off and now wants the taxpayer to pay an additional Sh17.6 billion, yet no work was done.

The firm is demanding the amount from Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) for cancelled construction of Sh64 billion Greenfield Terminal at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
