Following the scandal, the Government last month indefinitely banned cargo flights landing at the Eldoret Airport and instead diverted them to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi. The team, led by Deputy Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr Charles Kimemia, will investigate among other things the activities at the airport and how to stream-line its operations. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
