Kenya Airways popularly known as KQ has fired 38 employees. This comes with the second phase of declaring redundancies and redeploying staff members.
“We continued looking for opportunities for productivity and efficiency gains as well as up-skilling within the business,” said outgoing CEO Mbuvi Ngunze said in a statement on Tuesday.
The first phase that was implemented in July 2016 affected 80 workers.
The chief executive said the move dubbed Operation Pride followed a lot of consultation and s in full compliance with labour laws, Collective Bargaining Agreements and staff members’ contracts.
“There is never a perfect timing for such actions, and we will ensure that the process is handled within the values of our Airline.”
