KQ suspends staff, set for criminal proceedings after audit report

Kenya Airways says it has suspended and will initiate criminal proceedings against members of staff involved in fleecing the airline, a situation that played a role in the KES25b loss in its full year results for 2015. The airline has announced that it has received the preliminary results of a forensic audit which reviewed the operations, systems and internal controls of the airline over the past 5 years in order to identify where the leakages were stemming from. The audit is the airlines first attempt at finding out just how the airline’s underbelly was left exposed and is likely to shake the airline’s core. Sources privy to the information intimate that at least 6 people have been found culpable; most of them within the airline’s finance department. <br/>
