The weather man issued a warning that has since come true following the relentless downpour of rainfall across the capital. On Sunday, December 1, a trail of destruction across the city has been witnessed thanks to the rains.
Caught in the unfortunate trap is the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) as passengers being rained on has exposed the shoddy job that was done in the construction of the new wing.
Whoever designed and those who built Jomo Kenyatta International Airport "new wing" deserve to be prosecuted and jailed @ODPP_KE. They built Kenya a badly designed cowshed.7 million passengers use this shame of an airport every year. @KenyaAirports name and shame the contractors! pic.twitter.com/kNpDMpP6ik

The revelation has been made through a video circulated by Activist Boniface Mwangi where he shames the contractors who build the new wing as he records busy passengers moving around while being rained on.
Boni goes on to show passengers being pounded on inside a bus narrating that they had been given rain jackets to shield them from the messy leaks. He is heard apologizing to other travelers for the inconvenience caused.

The Airport is one of the busiest in Africa serving as a major hub in East Africa for cargo and tourist passengers.
“Whoever designed and those who built Jomo Kenyatta International Airport “new wing” deserve to be prosecuted and jailed @ODPP_KE. They built Kenya a badly designed cowshed.7 million passengers use this shame of an airport every year. @KenyaAirports name and shame the contractors!” Tweeted Boniface Mwangi.
Mr. Mwangi in addition stated that the original airport had common sense illustrating that waiting and pick up area was well thought through. He said a 1970’s design worked better than today’s Terminal 1. Now even the bathrooms are messily designed.
Journalist Joy Doreen Biira further illustrated that she always feels bad for passengers on wheel chairs and those carrying toddlers when it rains at the airport.
