Kenya Airways sued by Peter Bore
In an unrelated development, KQ was on Thursday taken to court by a Nakuru-based lawyer Peter Bore, for causing him humiliation in Tanzania.
According to Bore, he had booked a return ticket but was forcibly kicked out of the flight from Kilimanjaro returning to Nairobi.
The guards at the Tanzanian airport allegedly manhandled him and threw him out of the plane after his name was found missing on the flight manifest.
