Nairobi ….June 4th 2013 ….. Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) would like to clarify that the former Prime Minister
and his wife were not denied access to the VIP lounge at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). KAA has confirmed that, contrary to reports appearing in sections of the media, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his wife Ida were allowed access and the use of the Government VIP Lounge on Monday and last Friday respectively. However, the authority confirmed that no convoy can drive to the airside, because JKIA is a highly restricted security zone. According to national security regulations, only vehicle convoys belonging to the President of Kenya, visiting Heads of State and the Deputy President of Kenya can access the airside at any of the airports in Kenya. KAA also clarified that JKIA has three
VIP Lounges – the State Pavilion for the President of Kenya and visiting Heads of State, the VIP III Lounge for the
Deputy President of Kenya and Retired Heads of State and the Government VIP Lounge for Ambassadors and Government VIPs. The former Prime Minister has unrestricted access to the Government
VIP Lounge. Corporate Affairs Kenya Airports Authority
