(SomaliNet) A commission of inquiry to investigate a serious breach
of security at Nairobi's main airport which took place last week has
been set by the Kenyan Government.
Britain had demanded for a formal explanation from Kenya's Ministry
of foreign affairs.
The breach of security which involved two Armenian brothers who
brandished weapons when challenged to open their luggage by airport
security staff last week, earlier led to the suspension pf police
Criminal Investigations Department (CID) head Joseph Kamau and 11
other officials.
The two Armenian brothers Instead of being charged, they were quietly
deported, prompting claims they were receiving top-level protection.
The two Armenians first came to public attention during a controversial
raid on a Kenyan newspaper in March.
Kenya's president, Mwai Kibaki, on Sunday this week, dismissed
newspaper reports of a family connection with the men. The pair,
Artur Sargasyan and Artur Margaryan, have always maintained that they
are innocent businessmen.
