We won’t allow KQ to irregularly takeover JKIA, MPs vowPassengers stranded at JKIA after Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) staff down their tools over the proposed merger of KQ and KAA. We would like to reassure Kenyans and the aviation workers that no ‘marriage’ will happen between KQ and KAA until parliament is involved and the contentious issues are first sorted out,” said the chairperson. For the better part of Wednesday, thousands of passengers were stranded at JKIA, after aviation staff downed their tools starting at 3am. Last week top officials of KAA and KQ clashed over the proposed take-over of the airports, when they appeared before the same house team. He told MPs the restructuring proposal was the brainchild of KQ and that KAA board of directors was apprehensive about the PIIP tabled by KQ with the backing of the Cabinet.
