Saturday, April 27, 2024 –The Kenya Airports Authority KAA has explained why another video emerged from the facility showing the leaking roofs.
Addressing the concerns first raised by journalist Larry Madowo who shared another video from the scene, KAA noted that the problem was caused by a temporary material used by the current contractor and which could not hold heavy downpour.

“How can Kenya Airports leadership keep their jobs when they’re this consistently incompetent and/or negligent? If they won’t take responsibility, why not resign in shame?” Madowo tweeted.
The said contractor had been given only three months to solve the issue beginning in March 2024.
“Works commenced in March 2024 for three (3) months. Over the last few days, the heavy rainfall in Nairobi has adversely impacted on the temporary drainage infrastructure put by the contractor on site, resulting in the current leakages being experienced at the terminal,” the statement read in part as shared by other media outlets.
KAA, therefore, highlighted efforts put in place to sort out the menace once and for all so that activities at the facility can resume without any further disruptions.
“This is being mitigated as works progress and the contractor has been instructed to complete the works on schedule.”
