The ongoing inquiry into the June 10th police helicopter crash in Ngong forest that killed internal security minister George Saitoti, his assistant minister Orwa Ojode and four others heard that the ill-fated Eurocopter chopper did not have an airworthiness maintenance agreement. The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority's manager in charge of airworthiness certification Nicholas Muhoya Ngatia says that he only came across a copy of an unsigned maintenance agreement after the chopper had crashed in Kibiku, Ngong'. Meanwhile, the Ngong Crash probe commissioners toured the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Wilson Airport to familiarize themselves with the flight control and communication equipment at the facilities.
