The government is set to demolish about 500 properties built on Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) land ahead of United States direct flights launch.
The properties, whose value run into billions of shillings will be brought down before October 28th, The Standard reports.
Moses Nyakiongora, Chairman of the multi-sectoral committee on unsafe structures, says that owners of the properties were served with two-week notices on September 28th.
The official points out that the removal of the structures is part of the precautions taken for aviation safety.
“Upon expiry of this notice, the illegally developed buildings, installations or erections will be demolished or removed from the flight path or encroached land without further references to them at their owners’ cost and risk as to any loss or damage incurred,” read part of the notice.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) will also reclaim undeveloped plots around the country’s largest airport.
Kenya Airways is expected to launch its maiden nonstop flight to JFK International Airport in New York on October 28th.

2019: Mwaka wa kuheshimu lugha ya Kiswahili
Nawaomba watumishi wetu wote tuliowachagua watekeleze utumiaji wa lugha ya Kiswahili kwenye mikutano yote bungeni na pia hadharani kuanzia mwezi wa kwanza wa mwaka wa 2019.
Lugha ya Kiingereza haina simile. Haipendi lugha nyingine yoyote duniani. Wazaliwa wa lugha hii wanadhani kuwa hakuna lugha nyingine duniani inayostahili kutumiwa ila lugha ya Kiingereza.
Lugha hii (Kiingereza) ni lugha ya majivuno na pia madharau. Haifai kutumiwa mahali popote ila katika nchi ya Uingereza.
Hayati Mwalimu Borito Kambarage Nyerere ambaye alikuwa fundi wa lugha ya Kiingereza aliamua kuwaunganisha wananchi wa nchi tukufu ya Tanzania kwa kutilia mkazo utumiaji wa lugha ya Kiswahili katika bunge na pia katika mikutano yote inayofanyawiwa hadharani kwa wananchi wote wa nchi ya Tanzania.
Wakati umefika sasa kujikomboa kutokana na lugha hii ya ubeberu na utumwa duniani nzima. Wengine watasema ya kwamba lugha ya Kiswahili ni lugha ya Kiarabu! Kusema kweli, lugha ya Kiswahili imekopa msamiati kutoka kwenye lugha ya Kiarabu, Kiingereza, Kihindi, na pia Kifarsi. Lakini nahau (grammar) ya lugha ya Kiswahili ni ya Kibantu.
Tusione haya kukuza lugha yetu ya Kibantu (Kiswahili) katika nchi zote za Afrika ya Mashariki, Kati, na pia Kusini.
