According to Nairobi News, the pilot said he had tried to find a way to land at the airport but it was not visible and had to land at an open field by the highway. 

“I had to make a judgment call and find an alternative field. I made a perfect landing," he said. 

Onboard the Eurocopta AS350 was the governor, his bodyguard and the pilot. 

The helicopter landed on Sunday at around 6pm, an hour after take-off. 

According to the source, the two passengers were then picked by their private drivers upon safe landing.
