The circulation of a new photo online has stirred fresh discussions about a man who was featured in KTN’s explosive exposé “Cocaine Highway.”
The investigation had shocked many Kenyans after it revealed how some airport officials and insiders allegedly help certain travelers bypass full security checks at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
In the newly surfaced photo, the same man who was seen escorting the Brazilian suspect in the documentary appears posing beside Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho, who currently heads the Ministry of Mining and Blue Economy.
The image has quickly drawn public attention, sparking speculation about the man’s possible connections and whether his appearance in both contexts is merely coincidental or suggests something deeper.
In the KTN exposé, viewers saw the man confidently walking alongside the Brazilian suspect who was later accused of attempting to smuggle drugs through JKIA.
He was captured making several phone calls and exchanging greetings with a police officer before the two walked past airport security without any luggage inspection.
The ease with which they moved raised concerns about how such serious lapses could happen at one of the country’s most heavily guarded facilities.
The footage left many Kenyans questioning the integrity of airport operations and the level of oversight within the aviation sector.
Now, with the new photo linking the same man to a top government official, the conversation has taken a new twist. Online users have been debating the timing and nature of the image, with some suggesting that it may point to a broader network of influence, while others caution against jumping to conclusions without evidence.
Many have also called for investigators to look into whether the man in question holds any official role that could have given him access or authority at the airport.
The photo, which has circulated widely across social media platforms, has fueled renewed demands for accountability following the revelations from KTN’s report.
It has also revived public concern about how organized networks might exploit their positions to facilitate illegal activities under the cover of official access.
While no formal link has been established between the man and the Cabinet Secretary beyond the photograph, the public reaction shows how deeply Kenyans are troubled by recurring corruption scandals.
