The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) was at pains to explain why the country's biggest airport was still unable to automatically switch to a back-up power supply as the country was plunged into darkness on Sunday evening when several parts of the country experienced a power outage.

This was despite KAA saying that only terminals 1A and 1E at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) were affected by the blackout. "No runway lights were affected during take-offs and landings," KAA said.
