The proposed Kenya-L3 deal carried a State Department-approved price tag of $418 million (Sh41bn) when it was outlined in January. "Nobody got a chance to bid," Mr Budd told his congressional colleagues. Kenya has the option of buying a dozen Archangels from the UAE at what a source described as an unspecified "discount" price.

Kenyan officials in Washington and Nairobi have not responded to requests for comments on the L3 and IOMAX offers.
