National carrier Kenya Airways will send home 38 more employees as part of Operation Pride, whose goals are to increase profits and return focus to its business model.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, outgoing CEO Mbuvi Ngunze said the sacking was part of 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," he said as quoted by the Star.
The chief executive noted that there is never a perfect timing for such actions, and they will ensure that the process is handled within the values of our Airline.
He said the first phase that was implemented in July 2016 affected 80 workers.
He also assured that the move is in full compliance with labour laws, Collective Bargaining Agreements and staff members’ contracts.
