Protests Over Diani Airport Expansion File image of a plane at Diani Airport. Residents of Mkokuani, Diani protested the expansion of Diani Airport, citing that they were yet to be compensated for the land. They argued that they have for over a decade held talks with the Kenya Aviation Authority (KAA) regarding compensation with little luck. "What is shocking is that we have held talks with KAA since 2007. Up to date, we have not reached an agreement," a resident argued. File image of a light carrier aircraft at Diani Airport. "KAA is using force to intimidate us into surrendering our land without compensation. We are not against, the expansion of the airstrip, we just want what is rightfully ours," another added.
