Propesa Mimics Marshaller At JKIA During Nationwide Blackout: "Mulikia Awashe Ya President"

• Comedian Propesa made a funny skit about the nationwide blackout in Kenya on Sunday night
• The skit maker acted as a marshaller at JKIA, using a button and a spotlight to guide the planes
• Popesa joked that one of the planes had the president on board, who was leaving the country for another trip

Comedian Propesa has once again left his fans in stitches with his latest skit that poked fun at the recent nationwide blackout and President William Ruto’s frequent travels abroad.

The skit, which is trending, showed Propesa acting as a marshaller at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), which was also affected by the power outage that occurred on the evening of Sunday, December 10.

Propesa, who wore a green reflector jacket, pretended to be using a control button to communicate with the pilots and direct them to take off from the runway.

He also had an accomplice who held a spotlight to guide the planes in the dark.

The most hilarious part of the skit was when Propesa instructed his partner to go to the other end of the runway and shine the light for a special plane that was carrying the president, who was leaving the country.

“Go to the other side and shine the light for our president. He is leaving the country,” he said in a sarcastic tone.

This was a clear jab at Ruto’s numerous foreign trips, which have been criticised by some of his political rivals and a section of the public.

Propesa’s skit was well-received by his fans, who praised his creativity and humour.

Why was JKIA plunged to darkness?

Separately, The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) apologised to passengers and stakeholders for the inconvenience caused by the power blackout at the JKIA.

In a statement to newsrooms, KAA said the airport was plunged into darkness after backup generators failed to function immediately.

According to KAA, other than Terminals 1A and 1E, the rest of the airport, including the JKIA Tower and Runway, remained fully operational.

“Over the past week, our generator system at JKIA has undergone rigorous testing to ensure a continuous and reliable power supply. Despite these efforts, during tonight's power outage, two of our four generators, specifically those serving Terminals IA and 1E, failed to immediately activate,” KAA said.
