Kenya Airways pilots plan strike to force CE Ngunze to quit
Kenya Airways pilots threatened to strike later this week to force CE Ngunze, who is implementing a reorganisation that will result in at least 600 job losses, to resign. The Kenya Airline Pilots Association wants Ngunze to resign after the company posted a record loss last year and because it thinks his turnaround plan will fail, it said Tuesday. The strike is set to begin Thursday, the association said. “It is Kalpa’s position that definitive action has to be taken, once and for all, to steer Kenya Airways in the right direction,” the association said. “We reaffirm the Kalpa membership vote of no confidence in the Kenya Airways CE, Mbuvi Ngunze, and call for his immediate resignation.” Kenya Airways is cutting jobs and shrinking its fleet size by almost a third to help reverse a US$253m annual loss it reported in July. <br/>
