A contingent of security officers from various units has been mobilized to ensure the safety of travellers and normal operations at JKIA.

The deployment is in response to the anticipated protests at the facility.

A group of protesters are planning to occupy the facility.

Sources within the security apparatus reveal that the deployment followed a day-long meeting Monday between top security bosses and the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) at the facility.

At the primary screen yard which is the main entry point to the facility, hundreds of armed security officers kept vigil from as early as 6am.

The area is normally manned by regular officers from the JKIA police station assisted by GSU officers from the nearby Embakasi Training School.

Services, however, remained uninterrupted inside the facility.
