The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has raised alarm over the smuggling of human beings at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
In a letter written to the Qatar Airways station manager, seen by Nairobi Leo, the officer commanding the anti-terror police unit at JKIA warned of dire consequences for those found.
The letter disclosed that the smuggling of people is an inside job that brings together officials from various departments at the airport.
"This office has noted with a lot of concern that people are being smuggled in and out of the country through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport with the assistance of airport staff which include National Police Service personnel, Kenya Airport Authority personnel, airlines personnel, and Immigration personnel," the anti-terror unit officer said.

Those smuggled were taken to various counties, the officer said.
The letter, the officer indicated, was a warning to all those involved in the illegal activity saying they will face the rule of law.
"This serves as a warning to all agencies named to desist from the practice. Legal action will be taken on anyone caught," the DCI letter stated.
