“We are as safe as any other airport in the world. Nobody will ever tell you that we are immune to insecurity. But we have made every effort to ensure that our airports are safe and secure,” he is quoted as having said.

KAA had earlier announced major plans to upgrade airports at a cost of about Sh10 billion.

The expansion was to make Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) a major regional hub in Africa by chasing a Federal Aviation Agency Category 1.

    wuod_aketch, you are the greatest tribalist who ever existed in Kenya. Don't you realize that all these politicians are connected and work together in one way or another? Their children dine together, work together, socialize together and even marry each other. wuod_aketch, when you burn down Kenya, you might not have anywhere to run as a common man. Keep up your tribal mentality.

    This really tells us the kind of chief executive we have in Kenya,Muhoho is a corrupt yet the president had not relieved him of his duties, how then could he claim to be fighting corruption?Muhoho and all corrupt men should be send packing immediately and new fresh blood should be brought to manage our parastatals

    His leave is long overdue. And this culture of appointing grandpas to such posts should come to an end. These are the old school minds that still need a secretary to type a letter while he dictates from his office next door. Airport security is not a counsel-of-elders matter. It requires sharp and dynamic brains. No wonder the KQ dude could smuggle 7.5kgs of cocaine through JKIA but got stuck in Heathrow. Akwende nyumbani
