Kenya’s aviation workers are calling for an overhaul of the Kenya Airways and Kenya Airports Authority’s boards and management over the proposed merger and alleged irregularities in the hiring of staff.
The workers’ union has questioned the proposed merger of the loss-making carrier and the KAA, which will see KQ take over the operations of Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
