We are going to continue performing more. Our directors are on ground” he further assured.
“Anything that will make every airline complies, we will do. You can see recently we had to sanction some airlines and they accepted their sanctions.
“We sanctioned five airlines because they refused to pay refund tickets and they have agreed that they will pay on time. So, you know, this year, 2025, we hope to see more and better” he assured.
Najomo used the opportunity to emphasize his  focus on delivering on his core job functions to meet his performance targets without allowing any sponsored fabricated fake stories to distract  him.
His words: “The attacks are not affecting my work. There are no distractions. Because I’m resolute in doing what I’m supposed to do. My confirmation is in the hands of Mr. President. And when it comes to the time, he will do the needful. For now, it’s not distracting me. I’m doing my job”.
