Workers with some miraa exporting companies in the city had been told not to report to work from Monday. Some workers in fields in Nyambene were also told not to report until the issue was resolved. The companies complained of losses after Somalia's decision to suspend the flights. PHOTO: COURTESY

Several cargo planes destined for Mogadishu are stuck in Nairobi with miraa worth about Sh50 million after Somalia suspended the flights.

But sources at the airport in Nairobi said some planes left for Kismayu, Puntland and Galkayo with miraa despite the ban.
