Kenya Airways CE Sebastian Mikosz watched CCTV cameras and witnessed how his workers tried to twist them out of view so they could load tyres into trucks and sneak them out. The tyres were later traced to a shop where they were being sold openly. Mikosz said the theft of the tyres is a microcosm of the entrenched series of problems afflicting the once Pride of Africa. “These are just tyres but we have the same problem with fuel, with parts,” he reveals. The loss-making airline spends US$50m a day and has a long history of staff, suppliers and banks scheming how to pilfer resources from its coffers. This, he adds, coupled with internal wrangles contributed immensely to his failed bid to turn around the airline that has been riding through a stormy financial patch for years now. <br/>
