Moi airport power crises unacceptable

The power failure at the Moi International Airport, which plunged the facility into darkness and caused delays and cancellation of flights on Sunday evening, has embarrassed the country.

It is unfortunate that the massive expenditure by Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), the body mandated to manage local airports, on an upgrade and modernisation, has yet to address this perrenial problem. And as if fate has colluded against KAA, this crisis comes at a time when questions are being asked regarding a proposed multi-billion shilling fund to be administered by the authority without a clear line of accountability to Parliament.
