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
UNFINISHED HOUSE
“We are a little bit late, but as the adage goes better late than never. We are here to give him a small token of Sh250,000 from the president to enable him repair his house,” Mr Elungata added.
The Coast regional coordinator also visited the Kizurini Secondary School to ensure its kitchen, which was also damaged back then, was renovated.
“This school also lost its kitchen to the same situation, the president gave them Sh2 million and they have been able to remarkably improve the catering and cooking environment and the school itself. We are glad to see the money donated by the president has improved the school,” Mr Elungata said.
