The Kenyan government has declined reports alleging that a shipment of 6 million coronavirus prevention masks meant for the German army mysteriously disappeared at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) last week.



The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) says after receiving the reports, it conducted investigations that established no such cargo had been transported through JKIA for the last two weeks and no reports of missing cargo had been made to the authorities.



“Following media reports that a German army shipment of 6 million masks meant for protection against COVID-19 virus vanished at JKIA last week, KAA has investigated the matter.


“Our investigation has concluded that there was no cargo of this nature that has passed through JKIA for the last two weeks and no missing cargo has been reported to the authorities,” said KAA in a statement on Tuesday.


The Kenya Airport Authority has termed the reports on the missing cargo that were first published on German media outlet Der Spiegel as fake news.
