The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has refuted claims of a security breach and the deployment of 'goons' at Kisumu International Airport (KIA) on Saturday. The allegations were made by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, who stated their flight was rerouted due to an alleged security compromise.

• KAA confirmed that access control measures were operational and strictly enforced.
• Senator Edwin Sifuna and MP Babu Owino (ODM faction) alleged their flight information was leaked and persons with crude weapons were present.
• The Airport Security Committee and Border Management Committee, working with state security agencies, maintained full control.
• KAA stated there was no disturbance, compromise to passenger safety, aircraft operations, or airport infrastructure.
