Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has given a seven-day ultimatum to Transport CS James Macharia to fire Kenya Airways (KQ) board chairman Michael Joseph over mismanagement of the airline or face him if he doesn’t.
The long-serving workers’ representative condemned the planned downsizing set to be made by the struggling carrier saying Joseph must go.
Atwoli said Kenya Airways must adapt to changing times insisting the country had many young modern-day managers who could steer Kenya’s national carrier back to its glory days as the pride of Africa.
“Kenya has young, talented and hardworking managers who can steer this airline . It is a shame to see Rwanda and Tanzania overtake us. Within seven days if no tangible changes are not made, we as Cotu will make life hard for the so called managers and even accessing the airport will not be easy for them’ said Atwoli
