MPs want Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) board chair Isaac Awuondo to resign, citing conflict of interest in the talks on proposed take-over of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

The calls came the day workers in the aviation industry asked Parliament to push for nationalising of the national carrier, saying subsequent restructuring programmes had failed.
