President Uhuru Kenyatta has finally compensated a man whose house was damaged when his helicopters landed in Kaloleni, Kilifi county in 2017. James Keah was on Friday handed Sh250,000 by the Coast Regional Coordinator John Elungata and Kilifi County Commissioner Magu Mutindika as compensation for his house whose roof was blown away by the strong winds caused by the choppers as they landed at Kizurini Secondary School two years ago.

The winds also blew off the rooftops of the school’s dining hall. However, nobody was injured during the incident. “We are here to visit Mr Keah who is a neighbor of the school where President Kenyatta had come to visit in October 10, 2017 when he came to tour the school. During his tour, some of the choppers that had landed generated strong gust of wind damaging his house,” the regional coordinator said.
