Services paralyzed as JKIA roof leaks, again - VIDEO
The
ongoing heavy rains that have wreaked havoc across the country have also flooded
the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
Travellers
on Friday found themselves in a dilemma with some essential services getting
stuck due to the heavy rain.
Some
roofs at the airport are also leaking, causing operations of the Terminal 1C
that serves the Qatar, Lufthansa, Ethiopia, Turkish and Rwanda international
airlines to halt.
Travellers
were left uncertain whether their journeys will continue or not.
This
is not the first time such a situation has been witnessed at the airport.
In
November last year, another viral video of a leaking roof at JKIA went viral,
but Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen blamed it on what he termed poor workmanship by the contractor and engineers who did renovations at Terminal 1C and 1E in the previous government of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He claimed the contractors hurriedly carried out the temporary renovations
without meeting the required standards since the government was in the process
of decommissioning the terminal and constructing a new one.
CS Murkomen, speaking then, assured Kenyans that the
renovations would be redone according to the required standards.
