In a statement, after most parts of the country experienced a blackout on Sunday night, Murkomen said the National Police Service should also investigate possible cover-ups of the same.
“Considering the frequency of the power disruption, and taking into account the fact that JKIA is a facility of strategic national importance, we are making a formal request to the National Police Service to investigate possible acts of sabotage and coverup,” he said.
Murkomen demanded that JKIA’s filth be cleaned up.
He stated that the management is to execute the recently formed technical committee’s report as instructed, and the KAA Board is under strong orders to continue with the reform program.
His comments were made in response to a blackout that occurred in certain areas of the airport when the backup generators failed to start.
“A power outage was experienced in many parts of the country tonight. Changeover to the standby generators ensured power was immediately restored to most parts of JKIA. Regrettably, supply did not immediately resume at terminals 1A and 1E,” he said.
Murkomen stated that he oversaw a delegation made up of the Kenya Airports Authority Board Chairman, Managing Director, Principal Secretary for Transport, and other KAA officials to evaluate the airport’s condition after the third blackout in the country, which had an impact on JKIA.
The CS mentioned that JKIA faces difficulties, which they have been gradually resolving.
