The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has dismissed claims that it has been harassing Uber taxi drivers.
This follows a video that went viral on social media, by a lady, who claimed KAA security personnel harassed her Uber driver when he came to pick her up, mid this month.
According to her, the officers wanted her to hire a taxi from the Authority.
‘’We wish to reiterate that KAA does not in any way condone any form of harassment of our esteemed customers, clients, users and/or stakeholders at any of our airports and neither does the Authority nor our staff dictate the choice of transport for airport users,’’ KAA said, in a statement.
The Authority said the encourage their customers and airport users to use the officially registered Airport Taxis (Yellow Airport Taxis) that can be found at various designated waiting and pick-up points within the airport.
It clarified that it was in discussions with other non-airport registered taxi service providers to establish a commercial arrangement that is similar to the existing arrangement with the registered providers, to officially allocate them space to wait and pick up their customers at our airports.
‘’This will be announced to the travelling public in due course.’’
