KAA Announce Security Measures Over Planned Tuesday Protests
The Kenya Airports Authority has warned of heightened security checks at the Jomo Kenyatta International Authority on Tuesday.
KAA called on passengers scheduled for flights on Tuesday to arrive early to avoid delays.
“Due to heightened security checks & protocols at JKIA, passengers are advised to arrive at the airport early to avoid any potential delays in catching their flights,” the statement read.
“Kindly contact your respective airline for the latest flight information. Safe travels!”
This comes amid fears that Gen Z protesters are planning to storm JKIA on Tuesday.
Reports on social media indicate plans that protesters might shift the usual #Occupy CBD demonstrations.
This marks the fourth week since Kenyan Gen Zs took to the streets to protest over the Finance Bill 2024.
The protests took place in major towns across the country with Kenyans demanding the President to listen to their demands.
The protests saw demonstrators storm Parliament and set a section of it on fire.
The protests left protesters nursing injuries and others dead.
Ruto bowed to pressure and declined to sign the Finance Bill 2024 returning it to Parliament for deletion of all the clauses.
However, the move did not alter the Gen Zs and instead, they came up with more demands for the President to fulfil.
On June 26, the President announced new austerity measures that will affect crucial state departments including his office.
Ruto said following his decision to withdraw the controversial Finance Bill, 2024 there was a need to find ways of managing the affairs by reducing expenditure.
