A plane taxing for take-off at Wilson Airport.
Harun Aydin, the Turkish national who was among the team scheduled to accompany Deputy President William Ruto to Uganda, was on Saturday detained at the Wilson Airport after landing from Uganda.
This comes after DP Ruto was on Monday dramatically blocked from boarding a flight to Uganda for not seeking clearance as all civil servants should.
The DP was scheduled to fly for an unknown mission to Entebbe, accompanied by a seven-man entourage comprising of his close political allies and businessmen.
Mr Aydin has since been branded a terrorist suspect whose presence in the country is under interrogation.
Dr Ruto termed the whole fiasco “nonsense, stupidity and foolish”. He said the Turkish Embassy has issued a statement saying Mr Aydin is a holder of a valid work permit issued by the government of Kenya, is an investor and contributes to economic development.
Dr Ruto said: “That is how we are destroying Kenya … by dragging political nonsense even to investors said to be close to me.”
