Uganda forced to clarify over a leaking roof incident at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport
The Ugandan Civil Aviation Authority (Uganda CAA) has mocked Kenya over a leaking roof incident at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Civil Aviation Authority in Uganda was forced to clarify claims that a video showing a leaking roof at an airport was taken at Entebbe International Airport.
The video found its way to Uganda prompting the country’s Civil Aviation Authority to break silence on it.
While sharing the Video on its X platform, the neighboring Country’s Authority described the scene as unfortunate even as it sought to say it was not of its Entebbe Aiport.
Though Uganda CAA did not mention Kenya by name, it stated that the incident is of a neighboring country claiming that some people were using the video to claim it was of its Entebbe Airport.
“Please ignore the trending video of an unfortunate situation at an airport in a neighboring country, which some WhatsApp users have wrongly attributed to Entebbe International Airport. Note that this is not Entebbe International Airport,” the Authority stated.
Kenya was recently on the spot after a video of a leaking JKIA roof went viral drawing mixed reactions.
The post went viral on social media with Kenyans trooping to the comment section to react to what it meant.

JKIA, Kenya Aviation Authority (KAA), and CS Murkomen responded to the video, pledging to look into the challenges bedeviling the international airport.
CS Murkomen later on attributed the leaking roof to the previous administration, stating that the contractors did a shoddy job.
KAA managing director Henry Ogoye cited a lack of adequate facilitation and resources to maintain and upgrade its infrastructure.
He, however, stated that the Authority had taken action to respond to the critical issues, including upgrading the passenger terminals and runway capacity.
“The board, management, and staff of KAA are aligned to the concerns of the public and are implementing the government’s civil aviation investment program to facilitate seamless, efficient, and effective service delivery,” he remarked.
