TEAM PROBES DRUGS CLAIM AT ELDORET AIRPORT

NAIROBI

A High powered delegation from the Ministry of Transport and
Communication is on a fact finding mission at the Eldoret
International Airport to investigate alleged drug trafficking and
corruption scandals.

Following the scandal, the Government last month indefinitely banned
cargo flights landing at the Eldoret Airport and instead diverted them
to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi.

The team, led by Deputy Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr
Charles Kimemia, will investigate among other things the activities at
the airport and how to stream-line its operations.
