Pleasure is taking the Makutano to Meru road. Remember the days the matatus went on strike because they were being forced to take the Michuki Pill. I understand there are fish in the Nairobi river. So, what is so special about these airports?

Im n wil never be a muhoho apologist, oh my how I hate that geezer! Bt kularaha blaming him 4 a technical hitch without a single xplanation is grossly misleading. Can someone tell us exactly wot transpired? What I dnt like are blind shouts without any backup. Lay the facts bare. Btw JKIA must b having one of the best backup system in Kenya. What really happened must have been beyond backup issues. Just like a car that loses the alternator...the battery kicks in. Bt if the problem is the wiring, or a broken shaft...the car wont go anywhere n the batt wont be of any use!

Some thing is wrong with the operational systems, Period.

To quote a jaded cliche, the buck stops with Father Muhoho. Who do we blame for the whole political mess in this Country? H.E. Emilio Mwai Kibaki.

Did Hon. Michuki wear a police uniform and make the "Michuki" rules stick? No. He put systems in place and backed them up with guts. I even do not remember seeing him with a broom sweeping the Nairobi River

I do not need evidence of wrong doing or "facts" to lay the blame on Father Muhoho. A number of people are complaining. That is enough for me to judge him guilty in the court of public opinion. My opinion.

@skabz - driver not the boss (in charge) of the bus . He's the driver...
Muhoho is the boss of KAA. He is in-charge...and ultimately responsible.

So now? Still think it's well run?? Poor management getting blamed??

Time always tells. It seems here is again a classic case of Kenyans accepting Kenya as it is - enough is enough!

Let me tell you, it's now evident that the guys should have been fired before they could say 'washa taa'. That's how it's done in leading companies in Kenya, and leading economies elsewhere. It's nothing personal, just business and the reputation of Kenya.

I am with KR on this one. If Muhoho, his board and top mgt cannot fix the problem(s), they have to take responsibility and GO!

A whole regional hub has no Business Continuity Managemnt programme? No back-up for such a strategic national asset that JKIA is? And it won some funny quality award recently!

How much are airlines losing from delayed/ cancelled passenger and cargo traffic? And more so at such a critical time when families from abroad are re-uniting via flights! How much bashing is the reputation of jkia -and by extension,Kenya - getting from this crap?

This is exactly what my argument was about before some people misconstrued it to mean that I was suggesting we get a 3rd airport merely because runway traffic lights had malfunctioned at JKIA. The issue was broader than that as is now evident - if we had a 3rd airport the traffic would merely have been diverted to it. JKIA is a regional hub, it doesn't need an alternate/back-up - it actually demands it.

The faster we see the backs of granpa Muhoho & co.the better for such a strategic asset as JKIA.

Who could be thier ISO auditors? The Auditors I've had experience with act tough and demand records on implementation of Standard operating procedures and work instructions, do thiers do the same? Ati KAA ISO,ha!
