National carrier Kenya Airways has sacked the second batch of employees in a move to return to profitable ways.
Outgoing CEO Mbuvi Ngunze on Tuesday said that 38 employees will leave after 80 were sacked in July last year.
“It is part of operation pride with goals that aims to increase profit and return focus on it business model,” said Ngunze.
Ngunze stated that the carrier was looking for ways of improving productivity after plunging into losses over the recent years.
"We continued looking for opportunities for productivity and efficiency gains as well as up-skilling within the business but there is never a perfect timing for such actions, and we will ensure that the process is handled within the values of our Airline," Said Ngunze.
He said the move followed a lot of consultation and is in full compliance with labor laws, Collective Bargaining Agreements and staff members’ contracts.
