List of most controversial Kenyan govt projects, policies in 2024 including Adani deals

The article from MSN discusses several controversial Kenyan government projects and policies in 2024. Key among them are the deals with the Adani Group, an Indian conglomerate, which have stirred debate due to concerns over transparency, environmental impact, and economic benefits. These include the development of a port in Lamu, a railway line, and a power plant, all part of the larger Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor project. Critics argue that these projects might lead to land grabs, environmental degradation, and favor foreign interests over local ones. Additionally, the article touches on other contentious issues like the Finance Bill 2024, which proposes new taxes and has been met with public outcry for potentially overburdening citizens, and the Affordable Housing Program, criticized for its funding model and implementation. The government's approach to these projects has led to widespread debate on governance, economic policy, and national development strategy.
