Fire tragedy at airport reflects serious management failures

By BILLOW KERROW

I have no qualms with authorities that a fire could occur at our main international airport. Several international airports in major cities, including Delhi, Kuala Lumpur, Miami, Bangkok and others have experienced fire incidents in recent years. In January 2012, a fire gutted the VIP lounge at Moi International airport, and in February this year, another fire destroyed KRA Customs warehouse at JKIA. Hence, fires will occur time and again, anywhere. My beef is with our response to such disasters — utterly appalling to say the least!
