Kenya Airways Chief Executing Officer (CEO) Mbuvi Ngunze is set to remain in office for an unspecified time after Kenya Airways Board ruled out his sacking.
In a statement accessed by Citizen Digital, Kenya Airways chairman Michael Joseph said that Ngunze was going to remain with KQ since the company was in the process of restructuring itself.
According to Joseph, the company was in the process of getting itself back to its full operational gear and firing Ngunze would do more harm than good.
"There is no CEO who is perfect. Firing Ngunze at the moment would not be the right course to take. We are currently working on restructuring ourselves to the former glory that the company had and we need him to be in the process geared towards restoring KQ to its glory," said Joseph.
This comes after Ngunze received criticisms from different quarters due to the losses being witnessed at the company.
Initially, Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) had called for the immediate departure of Ngunze from the airline company citing inefficiency at work leading to the great losses.
This decision comes after KQ failed to replace Chief Finance Officer (CFO) following Alex Mbugua's removal from office in January that left Dick Murianki as the acting CFO.
