The airline's CEO Allan Kilavuka said the cargo was still in the baggage section undergoing clearance when the security team arrived and took the two employees for questioning. "The cargo was not on the air side for transportation and, therefore, not in the possession of KQ as the logistic handler was still completing documentation before handing it over to KQ," Kilavuka said.
