A Silverstone Air plane that took off from Lodwar at around 9.30am on Monday had to make an emergency landing at the Elodret International Airport after losing a rear tire.
On board were, nine people, four passengers and five crew members who all safely landed.
According to One of the Silverstone officials, the captain of the plane decided to land in Eldoret International Airport in the interests of the continued safety of the passengers and crew.
The official said that the emergency landing was purely a precautionary action and the aircraft landed safely.
The official also assured their customers that they have taken appropriate measures to ensure the safety of their passengers and crew.
Uasin Gishu County Commander Johnstone Ipara while speaking to our K24’s Eldoret-based correspondent, Timothy Simwa, confirmed that they received reports from their counterparts in Lodwar that the aircraft had a technical problem which necessitated an emergency landing.
“We put measures in place to make sure that those on board alighted safely.” Johnstone Ipara said
“Nobody was injured, nobody panicked or fainted, all of them walked out majestically, humbly.”
The Police county boss also warned those spreading fake news on social media and asked them to verify information before sharing.
“Those spreading the ‘purported’ right information on social media must always strive to get the right information before they feed Kenyans with misinformation that may cause fear and panic particularly to the families of those on board.”
“Through the proper training the pilot has undergone, he was able to land safely and in a professional way. The landing was safer than any other.”

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
