Local News PETER ESINYEN 8/9/2014 Lodwar Air strip requires lighting for night landing

Lodwar airstrip still remains a nightmare from 6.30Pm as no plane is able to land to Lodwar due to lack of lighting in the airstrip.
Following the emergency landing of Senator John Munyes Kiyonga who was airlifted from Lowarengak in Turkana North to Lodwar Referral Hospital after was accidentally shot by his body guard on their way back from a peace meeting in Ethiopia. Lodwar Boda Boda and Taxi operators decided to use their Motor bikes and vehicles to provide light in the airstrip to enable the plane ferrying the Senator to land.
It is now the second week after Turkana County Governor promised to install street lights in Lodwar town within two weeks during the Turkana cultural festival in Sikika Sasa interview in Bishop Mahon center Lodwar and the project has not yet began.
This has raised another query of providing lighting in the Lodwar airstrip as construction of the terminal is underway.
