Wednesday, March 11, 2026 - A video has surfaced online showing a foreigner confronting an airport worker accused of demanding a $200 bribe from his friend to clear luggage at JKIA.
In the clip, the visibly upset man challenges the staff
member after learning of the alleged demand.
He firmly declares that he lives in Kenya and will not allow
his friend to be harassed.
The airport worker, caught off guard when he realized he was
being recorded, quickly moved away as other passengers looked on.
The timing of the video is notable, coming shortly after the
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) introduced body‑worn cameras for staff at
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
The initiative aims to curb cases of staff soliciting bribes
from passengers to avoid paying taxes.
According to KRA, the cameras are expected to enhance
transparency, protect travelers, and provide verifiable evidence in disputes.
