On 10 January 2018, Interior CS Fred Matiang’i made an unannounced inspection of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), in a move that drew attention to security and transport operations at the facility.
He was accompanied during the visit by Transport CS James Macharia and Tourism CS Najib Balala. The inspection was presented as part of a closer look at how the airport was being managed.
During the visit, Matiang’i ordered vetting of taxi operators at JKIA. The directive signaled a tighter approach to access and regulation around the airport’s transport services.
The archive clip does not provide further detail on the outcome of the inspection, any response from airport officials, or whether additional measures were announced after the visit.
