Rather than shut the door on what has become an unseemly saga, the impunity shown by acting Transport Minister Amos Kimunya in appointing a new managing director for the Kenya Airports Authority last week only deepened the controversy. It showed why reforms are needed to limit interference by the Executive in parastatals.
There is something wrong with the manner in which the new appointment was made, with fingers pointing at State House and the former KAA chief executive George Muhoho.
