Kenya has refuted claims that some 200 Chinese nationals left the country on Tuesday night. "Secondly, there is no passenger plane that is landing in the country, so how did a Chinese plane land in our airspace without the authorities' consent," she posed. Her sentiments were echoed by the Chinese Embassy in Kenya which said there is no passenger flight to China this week. "The embassy firmly reiterates that the reports on DN about Chinese taking flights back are false. The claims that 200 Chinese flew out last night via China SA flight is totally false and based on the reporter's imagination," the Embassy spokesperson Huang Xueging said.
