JKIA fire has proved Kenya never learns from the past

A half century of independence should have made a difference in Kenya’s emergency response capability, but the fire at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) has proven otherwise.

For a country that spares no effort in chest-thumping, this is a horrible humiliation. A minor calamity can easily take our country back to the stone age! And it is time we gave security officers hands-on fire fighting skills.
