PLANE ACCIDENTS

During the last decade of 2001-2010, there rase a time when there was an increase in number of aircraft accidents in our airports and airstrips. Many people lost their lives including prominent people like MP s and business people. The first incident happened in my hometown Busia when a number of MPs died while others sustained injuries when the plane they were using hit an electrical pole and crushed on the ground. After the incident, many aeroplane and aircraft accidents were witnessed in our airports and airstrips while some even crushed near peoples houses.
However beginning early last year the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority has embarked on renovating the Kenyan airports and airstrips by putting new radars for effective communication purposes, renovating the runways and even ensuring that we have effective and qualified pilots and air hostess something that has seen a lot of changes being witnessed with a siginificant drop in the accidents.
