The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi is under heavy security as the government prepares for potential disruptions caused by planned youth protests tomorrow.
The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has increased security measures at the airport and advised passengers to arrive early to avoid delays.
KAA released a notice informing travelers about the enhanced security protocols. The notice reads: "PASSENGER NOTICE: 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. Kindly contact your respective airline for the latest flight information. Safe travels!"
The increased security comes as youth groups threaten to disrupt airport operations as part of their demonstrations. The protests are part of a broader movement by younger generations, known as Gen Zs, who are seeking to make their voices heard on various issues.
President William Ruto has addressed the situation, warning that his government will take all necessary actions to protect people and property. He emphasized that the government is committed to maintaining order and preventing any form of anarchy during the planned protests.
The heightened security at JKIA includes more thorough checks and possibly longer waiting times for passengers. The airport management is working closely with security agencies to ensure a safe environment for travelers and to minimize any potential impact on flight schedules.
Travelers are urged to keep up-to-date with their flight information and to check with their airlines for any changes or delays. The KAA has advised that arriving early will help passengers avoid any inconvenience caused by the increased security measures.
