KCAA has denied claims that there was an aircraft that purportedly went missing in Machakos county on Monday night. Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko had posted on his social media about the missing aircraft. He said that the domestic aircraft reportedly lost communication with the tower and went missing from the radar for sometime due to "negligence" by air traffic controllers. However, KCAA communications officer Mercy Mbaka asked members of the public not to panic and "ignore the fake news:. We are in contact with all air operators in the country and none has reported such an incident,” Mbaka said.
