Yeah Still goes on and on

2 days ago, Precsion pull out a new one, ATR inbound to Kilimanjaro from Mombasa requested straight in rwy 27 the controller refused claiming traffic inbound from the west eta at ..03 the ATR Captain went whats the traffics distance, the controller asked him what his estimate for KV VOR was, he said ..18 The controller said continue approach, somehow the ATR managed to trottle in before the 1900 by 2 mins and landed rwy 27, the 1900 was to report 8 miles, whilst the second ATR on ground requested for TAXI to Zanzibar, he was cleared to taxi to Holding point, then the controller in fear of being blasted by the Captain of the ATR cleared him to line up and takeoff. at that point the 1900 was 3 miles final, the controller with a trembling voice asked the 1900 to approach at minimum speed. The Atr was still lining up and the Captain went full on to the controller, claiming he had put them in a situation and they had not completed the takeoff checklist, Then the controller managed to get himself together and told the ATR pliot that if he had asked them to hold they would have made noise....... there after radio silence and 1900 cleared to land !
