Kenya Airways is in the news once again following reports that four of the companies executives have left the company.
Catherine Moraa (head of internal audit), Lucy Muhiu (head of employee relations), Kevin Kinyanjui (information systems director), and Brian Mbuti (in-flight and jet fuel procurement) have left national carrier.
When asked, the companies human resource director Sammy Chepkwony the four had ‘resigned’.
“We not only recognize the long service rendered to Kenya Airways by these colleagues, but also the various individual achievements and contributions they have each made over the years,” said Chepkwony. “On behalf of the Kenya Airways family, I wish them and their families all the very best in the future endeavors.” As the company attempts to patch financial wounds there has been a lot of speculation following the arrival of the companies new CEO Sebastian Mikosz.
The CEO has been the target of a lot of criticism after hiring five expatriates following approval of the KQ board.
“The advantage of these guys is that I trust them and I have worked with them. They could hit the ground (running) within I think three weeks. Will they stay? Will they not stay? That is not decided,” Mr Mikosz said on September 21. Monika Kietyka-Michna, Edyta Kijewska-Teny, Magdalena Serwach, Marcin Celejewski and Micha Mierciak are part of the five member team.
