Kang'ata rejects claims that associated him with Ethiopian Airlines -Crash -Crash Payment Candal

The governor of Murang'a, Irungu Kang'ata, has issued an answer after implied allegations in a compensation scandal in connection with the accident of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 2019.

According to the governor, who acted as a lawyer for some of the relatives of the victims, he did not benefit from the compensation and the persons who were said to be his employees on NTV on Wednesday.

Kang'ata said that all victims were compensated, including those he personally represented, and nobody complained.

He repeated that the case was also properly closed and that he would continue to use his legal skills to fight for Kenyans.

“All real victims that we represent in the United States were paid and none of them complained. None of the eight mentioned has been compensated. This is a properly closed edition from 2019, and all compensation in relation to my customers (Kenya accident victims) paid properly,” he said.

“My Senate debate on this topic has neither gave me a profit in view of the employees. I will continue to use my legal skills successfully for Kenyans, even in the USA and wherever.”

According to a documentary about NTV during Kang'ata as a Murang'a Senator, eight people who were allegedly connected to his office have been connected as relatives of the victims of the crash in order to receive fraudulent access to compensation from Boeing.

In the exposé, two of the former employees in the Senate in the Senate involved in the Senate in the Senate between 2017 and 2022 in addition to the alleged employees Jane Wairimu and John Kunyia in a fraudulent program.

They said they cannot understand why the Murang'a County Chief included their names in a petition that are said to be family members of those who had died in the incident, but they had not lost anyone in the tragedy.

The petition received by the Senate on June 19, 2019 asked the house to push the government so that the exhibition of certificates could accelerate so that the next relative could make compensation.

“When I heard that the Ethiopian airline had been paid, I decided to find out more about the case. One night I typed my name and telephone number in a link that had been provided. Then I saw how my name appeared there,” said Davis.

“There is a certain connection. There was a petition about the Ethiopian air incident, in which I perform together with other employees with whom I worked in the Senate. It showed that I was affected by the loss of people who died in the incident.”

The flight 302, which had crashed near Bishoftu, Ethiopia, in March 2019, demanded the life of all 157 people on board, including 32 Kenyans.

The incident was associated with malfunction in the maneuvering properties Augmentation System (MCAS), an automated flight control function.

Studies showed that incorrect sensor data triggered the MCAs, which caused the aircraft to penetrate the pilot that pilots could not enter.

In November 2021, Boeing officially took responsibility for the crash and recognized that his actions contributed to the tragedy.

According to Boeing registration, a victim compensation fund in the amount of USD 500 million (64.5 billion KSH) was set up, with each legitimate victim granting around 1.45 million dollars (187 million ksh).

In Kenya, families of the 32 victims received these settlements, whereby the total compensation corresponds to over 4.8 billion KH.

The remuneration amounts varied depending on the factors such as age, work and financial status of the victim at the time of death.
