- #FallOfThePride Part 4:
In the nearly ten-year decline of Kenya Airways, few decisions have had as big an impact on the airline’s profitability as the choices it made on fuel hedging. Fuel hedging is a contractual tool used to mitigate the risks of the volatile oil market. KQ used this means to acquire their fuel and the strategy may have worked against them. The strategy contributed to at least 25% of their losses.

take this example, I was booking a flight just yesterday to Dar. the mobile application on the KQ website was so pathetic such that 45 mins later i still had not booked a flight. a further follow-up on their socials to inquire was rudely replied and told to book at an agent and that the said person cant handle technical issues as mobile booking. I went to Expedia website and booked Rwanda Air to Dar in 6 mins. now you tell me how will they ever make a profit.
Kenya airways needs to merge with other East African airlines....as we see merger with a bigger airline is not mutual in benefit..merger with other regional airlines is mutual since we are bound together in the East African community.We should put down our pride.Rwandair is better managed.
Why didn't you book kq on Expedia.
@@larrypage7753 not there bro for these local flights or sometimes not updated. KQ themselves advise you to book on their own website. I tried being patriotic but I was served with a hot dish of shit sandwich with a hint of arrogance.
@@comradejackso3886 I work with one of the biggest airlines in the world but sometimes technology fails so it's not unique to kq.sorry for your experience
@@larrypage7753 i do agree tech fails. I am a programmer with15 years of experience in web app dev and I know tech fails most of the time especially integrated web apps like the airline and hotel booking platforms. but when it fails it is prudent for the airlines to create proper customer care measures to ensure seamless business continuity. otherwise, the company will be losing prospective clients out of arrogant staff who don't seem to care about the image of the business.
Well done team Africa Uncensored, may you never stop exposing the rot in this country. What a shame!
My dad worked for the defunct East African Airways before transitioning into Kenya Airways...He retired in 1988 and died 10 years later without receiving any dues. My elderly mom wonders what happened to the compensation, considering, Uganda and Tanzania paid their EAA workers, several years ago. It is very sad to hear such stories coming from Kenya Airways, considering that my dad was an honest and diligent employee and brought me up with values of integrity, diligence and care for humanity. I have many memories of Kenya Airways, growing up ,however the most memorable is my very first flight to london at the age of 13 years old when my dad flew his family for a two week holiday.
Likewise ..I am sure the money was paid out and eaten by the greedy management ..doesn't make sense that this KQ court case is still ongoing decades later.
Human beings can be truly wicked. Hearts of stone
Kenya airways needs to merge with other East African airlines....as we see merger with a bigger airline is not mutual in benefit..merger with other regional airlines is mutual since we are bound together in the East African community.
John we need Part 5 to Part 8. Please... Great journalism...👏👏👏👏
It really is great journalism. Case study for our universities school of business "How to run a blue chip company to the ground".
By the way can Africa Uncensored also do an investigative journalism on South African Airways. I bet their collapse will make KQ look like kindergaten play.
When I visited Kenya several times I found out that the general quality of journalism in Kenya is eons above European journalism. Over here in Europe most news outlets are bribed by governments with tax payer money to echoe their propaganda and nothing else.
Reading Kenyan newspaper and watching Kenyan news was exceedingly refreshing.
Amazing, through this four-part series I have learnt so much about kq and its failures.
So this video has 4 dislikes...probably some board members
🤣🤣
True . Moreso the ones writing MJ''s response. Saitan!
@@lauraokal3435 oi
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kilavuka seems clueless. It’s obvious he will add nothing to KQ.
I’ve been watching him and all along I’m just like this guy is so out of touch 😫.
@@maryamsakinah7939 he wont help us, honestly. he doesn't even know whats going on around him.
He says bad things happened in the past yet defends each and every of those bad things.
Mind you he’s worked in growing Jambo Jet. KQ mess is deep.
Escapist personality
So the new KQ CEO wants to turnaround the company but he has no idea of how the airline landed on murky waters 😂😂😂
Turning a blind eye on the issues of concern, I wonder what conclusions one can draw from this
😂😂😂yeah this is the funniest bit. Very ignorant. Maybe he is there to eat too
The body language of the CEO and his feedback tells us the obvious he is part of the system or perhaps afraid of it
Without a doubt bro....
Nah. The guy is genuinely surprised. He's found out the mess is deeper than originally thought, he can't answer tough questions meant for his 3 predecessors Naikuni, Ngunze and Mikosz
He looks afraid
Both.
I have no confidence in him, he sounds so uninformed. How will he make any changes if he has no knowledge of what has happened before him? What will he change?
The most painful part in this series, was that the management paid themselves after the crash in 2007...
People had lost their loved ones and that's what you could do???
May God avenge for them...
May they never get peace....
It's painful...they have hearts of stone.
You have to be a special kind of wicked to do things like this. Which is why like minded people shouldn’t make decisions together. There should be some kind of balance because then again i think because of human nature, most us would have probably taken the money anyway and go ahead spend it and felt guilty for the rest of our lives and then theres that percentage that wouldn’t care at all about what they’ve done. This world mehn.
The Lord says vengeance is mine i will repay. God does fight for the weak
KQ doesnt need a structural change, it needs a culture change.
*needs deletion from history
Kenya airways needs to merge with other East African airlines....as we see merger with a bigger airline is not mutual in benefit..merger with other regional airlines is mutual since we are bound together in the East African community.Other EA contries on board wont allow the airline to collapse.
Nationalization should be done first. This KLM seems to be exploiting us
@@Therajadan true
Okwiri is passionate, patriotic, knowledgeable and experienced. The airline needs such minds and not just to be told what to do but be allowed to make his contribution unhindered.
Theft is the key economic activity in Kenya. The difference is how it is done. In the streets it is mugging, in the boardrooms it is by contracts
Nowonder my gungzhou Nairobi flight was a disaster, from bags being left in china to electronics missing and don't forget the airplane was so small ungedhani uko mat za githurai 45 only haina genge tones! smh!
Corruption is KEY to Kenya's downfall. My heart is bleeding for our future children!
Is this Allan kilavuka serious.how can you turn around a company and not go back to understand what went wrong.either he is lying or just incompetent
exactly, wen someone says forget the past, he is part of the cover up
He's part of the eaters.
He should have been a little tactical on that question. But maybe he knows if the gets into the historical murk ati to understand it he wont move forward, he will end up like the rest. Maneno ya Samburu na Amboseli as indicated is too deep and complicated and if he tries to get into it he will be karangwad.
I'll be in this board some day.. as a spotter this pains me.
He is lying and incompetent
This is the most thorough investigative journalism piece for a long time. Congrats for very good work done. KQ needs total overhaul yesterday. People like Naikuni, Mbuvi need further investigation and criminal culpability if proven acted upon
The new CEO is dodgy🤦 doesn't know anything or admit to anything
Very true. I thought so too
I believe different. Knows a lot but received an email similar Dr. Akombe. "Our silence is not your license"
Ideally...he is trying to be politically correct....how can you explain that you chose not to have a keen look into the past records! Sadd
That's the quality you get when no one else wants anything to do with a sinking ship. He got the job not because he is competent, but because no one else wants to do it.
Sebastian met tribal war heads in kenya and period, then and then could not do anything, paying 20 million to airlines CEO is nothing the tribalism could not let him doing his job
A really well researched informative documentary. Looking forward to see change after this.
This is GREAT, John! Ask Kilavuka to write the board a letter recommending Okwiri (who seems to understand KQ inside out) to be part of the board or to be part of KQ Advisory Team - if possible.
Again, great investigative journalism from you and Africa Uncensored team👏
Can this investigative journalism come to South Africa. There's a lot we need to know
Hola from Nigeria! The documentary was well put together. You have earned a fan. Telling the truth is the beginning of any process of change. Kenyan Airways story is much better than that of Nigerian Airways. @AfricaUncensored please do one on Nigeria Airways!
They took Mbuvi Gunze out and paid him over 100m because they wanted to "start afresh and didn't want somebody who has been with the airline." So, they picked Kilavuka from Jambo jet, a low cost carrier operated of the same KQ. Wtf??? Wtf??
It's amazing!! Would anyone reasonable run their own business like this?!! This is appaling
after watching the 4 parts have learned a lot. not only KENYA AIRWAYS needs to reset itself.. kuna alot happening chini ya maji. its so painful our pride is falling apart. it feels like someone anaiba our identity.
Our identity is revealed under adversity.
Kenya airways needs to merge with other East African airlines....as we see merger with a bigger airline is not mutual in benefit..merger with other regional airlines is mutual since we are bound together in the East African community.When it is owned by many countries there will be more pressure for accountability i think.
Dan okwiri should be the CEO not that fellow
Can i get in touch with DANIEL oKWIRI, I like to offer him a consulting role in a new startup.
Tnaghana@icloud.com
But the system will not allow
@Harun Kimathi exactly, they’d only put their own. Someone who’d let them do their thing as Allan Kilavuka is demonstrating
@@princerichard4519 have you got in touch with Dan Okwiri? I can help if you want.
@@princerichard4519 check him out on facebook under the same name ... and make sure you read his memoirs first - the biggest and the damnest of them all being on KQ and the air crash in Luanda which according to him the post-crash handling of the situation by Naikuni & Co. is what resulted in her downfall ... sob with sic!!
am not even born in this country but why this story made me tear? i feel so much pain, its like they did not care at all. poor KQ... Oh God plse have mercy
kenya's elite ruling class are thieves. when a thief comes to your house to steal, he really doesn't givadamn about you. And when the salt has lost it's taste where on earth can it regain it's saltiness?
This is just depressing. The only people who are/ have been trying to save this capsizing ship are the people in low level management and general staff. The top is just there to finish what's left. The CEOs and their short term stints took "It's our turn to eat" to a whole other level. No company could have survived this level of mismanagement. Not even the Amazons of this world.
Beauty with brains
True other companies would have folded up immediately with this kind of loses why is the government wasting tax payers money trying to save this sinking ship KQ should be wrapped up and put in the dustbin 😭😡
The pay structure is ridiculous.. the ceo is basically earning millions while KQ is loosing billions! Where is the sense in that? Pay the ceo 300,000 bob as base pay, then incentives tied to performance of the airline. But who are we kidding, the powers that be in this country only care for conduits of looting our taxes..
@@smkariuki this is absurd! i would have thught Mikosz would have helped turn-around KQ as he did the same to Polish Airlines. but instead he was unscrupulous in his management then ended up recording a 27bil loss in his watch. how can someone be so callous like this? Kwani did he even deserve to get a hefty allowance of 91Million with that record loss despite his 52mil salary every month? would he have done the same in other European country if he was needed? au nivile ahaa hii ni African they arent as important anyway. If it was U.S.A he would have been drinking coffee every single day to stay alert.
Hiki kitu cha KQ kimeniumiza balaa!!!
and thats the saddest part; "the people in the low level management and genera staff." KQ should reconsider them and place them on high managerial slots. It doesnt need to hire no one from the outside. Brilliant mind is strolling around the streets of Kenya unemployed. They are the ones who are patriotic enough to turn it around. sio hawa wanaitafuna airline ya watu with no remorse and drawing huge allowances while records show lose. hii kitu imenuimiza mpaka nikaingia chumbani nikalia-machozi hasawa na nimTanzania
KQ sadly is a fraction/sample and a true representation of the country; the country is rotten, most of our citizens believe that corruption is the way out and up . KQ employs those citizens. I was crying about KQ's possible death when i saw the trailer to this documentary but now that i have watched the whole thing, let the whole ship sink
Sometimes thats the best decision. Same to Kenya. This country needs a reset button its exhausting hearing about corruption with no consequences to perpetrators. I admire Rwanda
Thanks once again to africa uncensored team. Absolutely Insightful documentary as usual. Its like the KQ leadership is doing everything for KQ to fail!!!
You would think as a new CEO, this guy would try & scrutinise past failures, before he would do any rebranding etc....he say doesn't what look at the past.....therein lies the problem. RIP the former pride of Africa!!!
Why can't people just do their jobs and earn an honest living! Someone has to break this cycle or else we won't have a country in the next decade. The whole damn system is messed up!
We have a skeleton country,the flesh already long time eaten.
Wow! Truly worth the time and effort to see the 4 documentary parts. Kudos to the team. For KQ to really be flying because they have become ostriches hiding their faces in the ground, they should truly sort out the mismanagement and personnel, asap. Like it has been mentioned earlier, the planes are to be on the sky and not on the ground. Again, awesome and clear documentary..👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Thank you.
I am truly impressed by this analysis. Good investigative reporting. We need more of this so that people can see 2 sides of the story.
Okwiri would make a great addition to the board. Impressed by his intellect, articulations and his genuine frustration. Not that as one man he will turn it around, but a couple of such brains can give kq a lifeline. The fish rots from the head and its not just the kq head.
He was discarded like an old rug after the Douala saga. He has written an article about his experience.
Okwiri for CEO !!
He did a story on FB about his memoirs huko. He was ditched a good one.
@@manyuranyakundi2970 Typical. Not surprising he was discarded. Stirring the waters and calling out wrongs will get people to sit up and fight back. He isn't the first.
Kenya airways needs to merge with other East African airlines....as we see merger with a bigger airline is not mutual in benefit..merger with other regional airlines is mutual since we are bound together in the East African community.
Thank you very much for this documentary, learnt one or two things it's really saddening. Mr. Allan Kilavuka the ball is in your court, there is a lot we cannot mend but just try...Dan Okiri kenya need men like you,alot of passion is felt when you tackle this subject matter...
Very interesting and well-produced documentary.
Wow, just wow! It's such an eye-opening documentary. Kudos 👏
16:50 "KQ is not a strategic asset, the govt can/should let it fail"...jaw on the floor. As a lay person I thought it was, that having a national carrier is a hegemonic symbol. But after this doc, I say let it flame out and rebuild.
Simply ,the best idea is to sell it to private company and forget it,nationalizing it will make it even more corrupt and Kenya is going to lose trillions,everybody appointed will steal knowing very well it belongs to Goverment, the treasury will be bailing it out in hard times, the money gets siphoned and the circle continues.
Very insightful, dissecting "project mawingu" which ironically is shrouded in a cloud of mystery
KQ’s downfall is an example of reaping what you sow. The fruit of all those years of flawed hiring processes and corrupt management has finally ripened. Unless we stop sowing the wrong seeds as a people Kenya will also follow KQ, that is if hatuko hapo tayari.
Very well said. If you consistently sow mediocrity across the ranks as Kenyans do and applaud then prepare to reap decay and retrogression like we are witnessing in KQ
wonderful i enjoyed this and it was also helpful
that's investigative journalism right there! Good Job Guys
Yani....... how are these people not in jail???
Why should they be in prison, thi is Kenya.
Who will put them in jail?
How can they be jailed?do your homework well, do your investigation well -Kenya airways top management belongs to who is who in Kenya including the president and prominent families !! I happen to know some of them !! Don't see the Nairobi airport !! Open your eyes and see the 56 destinations served by the airline, they live very lucrative lives abroad and very hefty salaries paid in dollars.
Thats what ails this country. No culture of accountability. People have very mundane short term goals like driving a land cruiser V8 or living in Runda. Thus the end justifies the means
@@briannganyi ;only a few who are far sighted,majority are greedy,corrupt, selfish and man eaters !! They don't care that what they are doing is hurting another person, they have a little knowledge about what is happening behind the corridors to sustain their lavish lifestyle,I mean they are just there not seeing the future and wealth creation which requires alot of patience and sacrifice.
It's really sad to see the Kenyan people watch as their pride becomes a show of shame and disdain due to pervasive mismanagement and corruption by a select few. I weep because I have seen this happen with our own defunct Nigeria Airways... Same story, same path unfolding. I had a very bad experience flying with KQ from Nairobi to Lagos last year(cost me an extra $500 right at the airport) and I said to myself "if this kind of customer service continues there just might not be a National carrier anymore". I didn't even know this level of corruption was already taking place and it was barely surviving. I see Dan Okwiri as someone who is very passionate but the unfortunate thing is that such people wouldn't be allowed to steer the ship because of their selfish ambitions and corrupt practices. I suggest they stop wasting tax payers funds and sell off the entire asset of KQ and let everyone move to their "tents". Because ordinarily it shouldn't be standing with all the monumental losses incured if not for the government still pumping funds into it. These funds can be channelled into other things such as education and healthcare which will ameliorate the plights of the citizens with greater impact.
Amazing documentary 🥳
Huyu CEO needs to be serious. Understanding past mistakes helps build better decisions he's been in KQ for a while he has to have learnt something
He is a thief. He doesn't care
You keep bodyguards when someone threatens you because you are cutting off their corrupt deals!
You DON’T keep bodyguards when you are corrupt yourself and allow others around you to EAT and kill the national airline.
Lol, and pay them 500k each? 🤔
Cayman Islands, Jersey, Mauritius...when you see investors and companies from these hideous places, there is a syphon plot in the system. What is unlimited amount of wealth for a man with a limited amount of time? Our idea of success is also our Achille's heel.
FOR EXAMPLE WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO DO V.R which is volunteer retirement for cost cutting reasons and after we did so the HR tells us to give her time to recall those who left due to shortage.
A well put out documentary
Ati 'brian'. Captain Karauri (of sportpesa) we know your head and head movements. LOL. Thanks for contributing to this docu-series.
Very good investigative journalism
Proper journalism.
When Africa Uncensored opens up a TV station(Someone might be preventing them to get one). I will be glued to it and probably most Kenyans will. The current mainstream TV stations seem to be on a mission to hoodwink Kenyans so they can earn govt ad revenue. Good job Allan Namu and Africa Uncensored, Kenyans are watching you.
Wow, KQ has a long tough road ahead if it is to be turned around back to profitability... Nationalization will be another strategic mismanagement mistake if it does not involve looking at the internal corruption, the loss of intellectual capital, the bad agreements like outsourcing maintenance that can be done locally, etc.
Excellent yet painful investigative journalism.
Awesome stuff.
Kudos, Dan Okwiri
This CEO’s talking in circles a lot.
mazee umeona jinsi ana dodge and sweat akiulizwa swali ngumu
Nah.....If I get you out of work right now and put you in a scandal...you will have the same reaction, Naive and Confused
Get yourself in his shoes first....then you will feel it
Great Piece.
Just finished watching the series. Top notch.
It is really unfortunate that an airline that had so much promise and potential for the African Continent has succomb to incompetance and corruption. All they really needed to do was follow the Ethiopian Airlines model and adapt it to their target market. Or at least partner with Ethiopian Airlines in a serious manner.
It's really a shame to the continent that this happened this way.
KQ should not look to die but to revamp itself, rebuild it's image and services, and should be the forefront for the battle against corruption and incompetent leaders placed at the senior level of ogranizations.
Kenya airways is dead !! Skeleton remaining !! Flesh long eaten away !!!
Thanks for the info..👍
RESTART I agree...stop throwing money at a dead entity...no more excuses...get smart people in there and get rid of those that blatantly have no clue what they are doing CEO included...there are so many Kenyans that can do this...BRAVO Africa Uncensored!!
I have learnt of business ethics
Watch KQ Safaricom and Madaraka train. MUNGU ATUSAIDIE KENYA YETU.
waaaa...kuna ya safaricom pia??
Wow! Very informative to know how kq clipped its wings. It would be nice to know what happens in safcom and kplc
This is impressive expose. The eating culture goes on and on. What we really lack is national patriotism, same thing happens everywhere in Kenya
Bravo Alan 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
ALLAN KILAVUKA THE KIND OF A CEO CHARACTERIZED BY THE EAT AND RUN BEHAVIOR,THE REASON BEHIND APPOINTING CARTELS TO BIG POSITIONS IN KQ IS TO HELP HIM MANUFACTURE LOOPHOLES THAT WILL HELP HIM LOOT THE COMPANY.THE CEO HAS NO WHAT IT IS NEEDED TO MAKE THE COMPANY STAND.HOW IS HIS DEGREE OF PSYCHOLOGY GOING TO HELP KQ BACK TO PROFIT MAKING.
Worth watching it. There is a lot to be done in our country. So sad.
We let careless CEOs retire with big monies and live scotfree. These people should be answerable. Naikuni drained down this airline and he knows all about the culprits
We are proud of you bro
APPOINTING ALLAN KILAVUKA IS A CLEAR SHOW THAT CARTELS WANT TO PROTECT AND COVER THEIR INTERESTS .
Kenya my mother land. So much uncertainties of where we're headed as a nation. One thing is for sure, corruption is sending us to our knees.
It’s like everything is failing
u think thats the only pandemic?
A documentary worth watching...thumbs up👍
Kq also chose to remove commissions to travel agencies and also took the path to compete directly and under cut travel agencies. This has forced many local travel agencies to sell other airlines as a means of making a living in favor of the national airline
Exactly !!
The mistakes the management made surely. I love the insight made that we have locally experienced consultants who are outside the gates better than these international experts who come only to milk enough from a pot that has nothing. This is painful
💔
privatization or nationalization is not KQ problem,the problem is the nature of CEO's FROM TIME OF TITUS NAIKUNI TO DATE,THE TYPE OF BOARD TOO AFFECTED THE COMPANY
KQ need a consultant CEO soonest time possible and entire change of management.
KQ story is bizarre! Greed, greed greed!
Unfortunately its the Kenyan story. This terrible example was set by the founding president. Thats where we need to start from
Great documentary. Some things you may want to consider:
1. There was a lot of repeated footage throughout the documentary. Maybe get more footage or work around the lack of footage.
2. The music drowns out people who are talking. At times it was very hard to make out what was being said. This can be fixed with a simple gain staging.
A wise sage long ago said, " Manage the people, the top line and the bottom line will follow". The wise sage passed away a few months later having built the world's most valuable company today that we know as Apple.
KQ should manage the people (competency, culture and numbers), the services they provide (without compromise) and the bottom line will follow.
A company performs better with an empathetic CEO but in times of change, CEOs that are least empathetic performs best in steering leadership of a company. Mikosz was best at Polish Airlines because he fired and rehired, cut beuracracies and his vision was to carryon with his tough stand at KQ thus bringing on his team. Lakini we all know Kenya is different, "toa kitu kidogo babaa"," huyu mtu ni wetu", " ukituguza tunaenda kortini"," Kenya ina wenyewe, hatuendangi hivi"- to sum it all, we adopted the worst of morals and 'the priviledge handicap' that came with independence and we seem not to break that cycle. Eventually Mikosz left after frustrations that came with the job. Alan has a difficult task of choosing the blue pill or the red one. He has to choose between a cash bill or press the reset button to the past with the knowledge that he has. And as Elon Musk, the man that has privatized the space industry says, " If given the choice between the blue pill or the red pill, always go with the red pill." Richard Brandson of Virgin Airlines says," Always look after your employees, take a keen interest in them, and you will succeed".
My thought is that the employees there already know the troubles ailing KQ. By employee, I mean the overlooked ones, the competents and most important ones the one that are least priviledged in any way. Mckinsey knew this well and they knew more about KQ from this approach than any independent study could have found. Deloitte too has the map and if none of the two can assist the carrier from its bed, it's a high time to rethink KQ.
My hope is that Alan is fit for the uphill battle and being as competent as he is, (very competent), our best wishes are with him.... Nothing is impossible
Moribund airline on a purposed spiral nosedive. Shut that kiosk down!
Fixing Kenya is the way to fixing Kenya Airways
WHO WILL FIX KENYA?
Chilling reality check.
Ceo hapa talking of recreating of the brand😂😂😂what brand
What's funny?
It's very much possible.
Funny...
He seems clueless
KQ seems too big for Allan to handle,it's way over his head. He doesn't seem to have a grasp of the intricacies of the company. This expatriates are no better,they too are part of the looting. It seems Kenya's corruption culture infects anyone who stays here too long.
Exactly ..if we are too stupid to keep on being taken advantage of ..why not ...
I was wondering when you will cover Sebastian's side of the story as C.E.O. He might have easily added to the losses during his regime.
Sad same guys made kq fall they are the one appointed by president in various government sectors that's why Kenyan economy is falling day by day
It's a pity we Africans dnt belive in our selves
@Sam • yah true in general Kenyans we hard working people n ii herd people who r out of d country represent us well they build a name for Kenyans
Kenya airways needs to merge with other East African airlines....as we see merger with a bigger airline is not mutual in benefit..merger with other regional airlines is mutual since we are bound together in the East African community.When it is owned by many countries there will be more pressure for accountability i think.
The white folks are better managers they keep saying
kenya airways management gave a staff an extra responsibility as fuel manager so as to help kick out these perpetrators,morris musyoki established on how money was been pilfered through excessive invoicing,in fuel malpractices by both ground operation head Gordon anyimu,finance and the head of supply chain irene lempaka,two contracts of third parties running at the same time signed by Dick murianki the then finance director and francis musila the then ground ops director,cancellation of flights,KQ revenues been directed to individual accounts,ticket fraud,duplication of roles so as to have ghost workers,when musyoki met the company expectations of streamlining departments and sealing all loop holes of corruption,the company decided to kick him out because he mentioned the people behind all these including francis musila who was directly involved in project mawingu,Gordon anyimu involved in selling company assets and equipment,irene lempaka in giving exaggerated fuel invoices,tom ogendo ticket fraud.we understand the current head of security KQ has attacked morris twice for mentioning these names and for producing evidence.
They sacked morris to hide the truth,they enjoy big salaries without work done,morris helped to bring back millions which got lost through cartels but all these has been credited by sacking him,making his family suffer,and frequent attacks by people been send by company.may God forbid.
God will reward morris,shame on you corrupt management.
The CEO saying that he will do things differently is just a joke, if he was serious about killing corruption at KQ,WHAT HAS HE DONE SO FAR,honestly KQ has flights that burn fuel from point A to B and from B to A without passengers or cargo,a true leader with full knowledge of what has been killing the company should have acted on that.the truth is that he is aware but covering the cartels on these rotten deals and is same reason why he threatens to sack staff.
this is what happens, most outstation managers were planted in those positions by the great TOM OGENDO the head of customer services and passenger services,the man who one time acted as ground ops director.the purpose is to help other airlines benefit from KQ market and those outstation managers who does that have an agreement with the top management,in return is KICKBACKS .
EVERY CUSTOMER BELONGING TO KQ NORMALLY IS DIRECTED TO OTHER AIRLINES LIKE JAMBO JET ,FLY 540 AND OTHER DOMESTIC FLIGHTS AND SO AS KQ CRY NO BUSINESS OR BUSINESS AT ZERO ,ROTTEN MINDED MEN AND WOMEN AT THE LEADERSHIP OF KENYA AIRWAYS GET KICKBACKS OR COMMISSIONS.THAT IS WHY FLY540 is greatly expanding and doing well.some cartels have shares there,the ceo of other airline who used to be titus naikuni director at his office alex avedi normally does that business with tom ogendo and honestly air crafts fly empty because they are needed at point B.that is domestic,at the international level,customers belonging to KQ flights too diverted to other companies like Qatar airlines,air France,KLM,so do you expect an aircraft belonging to KQ at Johannesburg not to fly back to kenya because all passengers have been re booked to another airline?yet this air craft is needed for another destination?these flights are normally cancelled in the name of technical issues which is not true,when we say outstation managers are rich and their head tom ogendo and gordon anyimu are rich,it is true and tell me when will kenya airways make profits?
When KQ flights fly empty and burning fuel it means business elsewhere.and then ALLAN KILLAVUKA THE CEO can dismiss this by saying no corruption and cover these cartels.
WHEN KQ DOES ANOTHER BOOKING DUE TO CANCELLED FLIGHTS IN THE NAME OF TECHNICAL ISSUES,HONESTLY THERE IS WHAT WE CALL RE BOOKING COMPENSATION WHICH AGAIN COSTS THE COMPANY AND AGAIN ON THIS RE BOOKING COMPENSATION TO CUSTOMERS OR PASSENGERS,THERE IS OVERSTATED COMPENSATIONS WHICH IS A SCANDAL.MANY PASSENGERS DUE TO THIS ROTTEN AND MONKEY GAMES ARE TAKEN TO HOTELS WHERE BY AGAIN THEY ARE GIVEN KICK BACKS,SO KENYANS AGAIN YOU CANNOT BE AN OUTSTATION MANAGER IN KENYA AIRWAYS IF YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO DO THESE KIND OF STUPID BUSINESSES WITH THESE ROGUE MANAGERS AND DIRECTORS.,TRANSPORT TO AND FROM HOTELS TO PROMOTE THESE CARTELS VEHICLES DOING BUSINESS AT AIRPORTS.VISAS COSTS DUE TO CANCELLATIONS AND MY FELLOW KENYANS WHEN YOU HEAR KQ doing badly there are people getting rich.before cargo flights belonging to KQ could do business ,there has been a lot of bogus businesses done by dick murianki by cancellation of these freighters in the name of zero captain just to realize the business is to promote other airlines for kickback reasons also storage facilities.
Generally dear kenyans a staff lost a job in the watch of kenya airways management because he exposed all these and
streamlined the sections.
the people behind these are said to BELONG TO MOST POWERFUL PERSONS IN KENYA MOSTLY PA MATIANGI AND IS THE REASON WHY ONE PERSON SAID THAT GOVERNMENT WILL KILL THIS COUNTRY.

Only general badi can save KQ
I second that
Do you think thieves would appoint a good guy to be in charge of anything important?
Badi is a thief like the rest
Kenya airways needs to merge with other East African airlines....as we see merger with a bigger airline is not mutual in benefit..merger with other regional airlines is mutual since we are bound together in the East African community.When it is owned by many countries there will be more pressure for accountability i think.
I am just fresh out of uni and even i know that outsourcing maintenance cost is utterly rubbish if you can't handle your own maintenance cost what organisation are you running

Increasing your salary in a company that's struggling & with threats of retrenching staff is just so wrong! Especially one that is being partly funded by tax payers! Board and CEO payment should be based on performance!
When is part 5 and 6 come ing
very pathetic,i always remember how Sebastian MIKOZS the former CEO bought a LAND and a car for his body guard and driver,a security officer at Kenya airways,helped him build a house and bought him a because he wanted to make sure that he keep top secret on how he had placed a foreigner in each department so as to pilfer everything.see here Kenyans,the CEO had a finance expert from Poland,ahead of supply chain,head of HR from same land just a few and you noted that with that kind of net work Irene lempaka the current head of supply chain just promoted by the current CEO Allan kilavuka looted everything.as we talk Irene who is the product of Titus naikuni is a very rich woman who has benefited from the regime of Sebastian,all tenders awarded during this time belongs to most directors who left KQ like the Bridgette imbuga HR and Francis musila who has shares at AFS company that makes cartels ground KQ equipment so that KQ can hire from AFS on overstated invoices and kickbacks.a thing well known by Michael Joseph who ignored to act,all dry stores has been given to third party NAS and even catering that has prompted to the loss of jobs of KQ staff who worked on those sections,look here,how can KQ award NAS a tender of laundry while it has its own machines of laundry ,KQ has its own lorries but most transport/equipment of catering and facilitating of flights is done by NAS and other ground handlers belonging to these directors and well known politicians and cabinet secretaries in this country ,generally that is how KQ employees loses jobs to third parties.the current canteen in KQ belongs to anzaya mbithe,bridgette imbuga and latiffa cherono who is at coca cola bottlers after she left KQ.LIKE FOR EXAMPLE TEA ALONE WITHOUT SNACKS KQ DOES A CHEQUE OF OVER 6 MILLION SHILLINGS FOR JUST TECHNICAL STAFF LOCATED AT OCC OFFICES[LESS THAN 150 STAFF] most of the outstation managers were planted in those jobs purposely to help loot.look at outstation like south africa tom ogendo and the manager who has been there for years since titus naikuni has been doing ticket fraud,if a customer can not comply with the demands of these individuals you find that some of cargo has been delayed for long and is the same reason why most customers run away from KQ,these outstation managers target weights,you realize that half revenues per flight goes to these individuals and when you point on them you get kicked out just like the way a staff was kicked out recently and lost all his years.this is a story well known by the chairman Michael Joseph and HR Evelyn munyoki who always ignore the matters and even to a level of forcing the police to arrest such staff who report corruption matters.
mr Allan kilavuka and the cabinet secretary matiangi force to give top jobs to those who are not qualified so as to continue looting the company and honestly this blame goes to Michael Joseph who appointed kilavuka and allowed kilavuka to appoint head of security Bernard oganga who knows nothing about security but corruption.he cannot even write a report.further te same same kilavuka and matiangi force the company to continue keeping Gordon anyimu who has brought KQ to its knees.
At the end of the day the chairman will blame himself by the way kenyans will react after his term ends.he pleases the HR chief who is promoting the culture of reckless sacking,he pleases the legal head and team that has even a small matter that can be solved by company many cases have been directed to court and so costed KQ a lot of finances unlike in the past regimes,the legal team appoint law firms with their own friends then over charge the company at the end,basically,it is many businesses within one big business called KQ.
Michael joseph doesn't know that at the end of the day we Kenyans does not know Allan kilavuka,Evelyn munyoki and matiangi who mislead him and are looking for business opportunities on their interests in expense of KQ and tax payers.
all what we say has costed a staff career,job,security,safety and freedom not to forget family suffering.
honestly michael joseph has agreed to be misled by the CEO who has no capability to get KQ from these dark moments.
most heads in KQ especially in HR mislead the management and mostly delay tactics.when michael reported to KQ he had enough men to help Turner KQ to profit making but clever thieves known as Bridgette imbuga,francis musila the son of the arrogant politician David musila,Boniface onyango,the likes of Gordon anyimu,irene lempaka and others like tom ogendo dictated the chairman to sack people like Sammy chepkwony the former and strict KQ HR director,Morris musyoki who within couple on months eliminated corruption and brought to stability at the ground operations that is the back borne of KQ,as junior as he was Michael Joseph authorized for his sacking according to the current head of security who is dictating the police using kenya airways name to arrest morris,simply because he has streamlined most sections in KQ A THING THAT CARTELS IN GROUND OPERATIONS AND HR did not like.actually the head of security has warned to use government powers to continue with corruption and if he is sacked he will kill someone.THE FORMER HEAD OF SECURITY SOLOMON ONANGE WHO WAS EQUAL TO THE JOB WAS THROWN OUT TO BRING IN THIS BERNARD OGANGA WHO IS THE ALLAN KILAVUKA MAN AND CHEST THUMPING THAT HE CAN KILL SOME ONE.
The story is long but basically KQ losses almost same amount to what it gets meaning that half of revenues goes to cartels,no wonder one person said that some people are misusing the powers that the president has given to them and leading to abuse of powers and offices .
The chairman need to talk to the president and see the way forward of eliminating these chest thumping CEO,security and other company rogue managers..
there is a security officer who chest thump that he was brought to KQ by RAILA AMOLO ODINGA THAT HE WAS HIS GATE MAN AND BODY GUARD,RECENTLY HE TRAVELED TO IVORY COAST WITHOUT TRAVELING DOCUMENTS.WITHOUT VISA AND PASSPORT,ESCORTING MILLIONS OF MONEY WHICH WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS A DEAL TO STEAL THE MONEY THE PLAN WAS BETWEEN KENYA AIRWAYS AND SOME IVORY COAST AIRPORT MEN WHICH SAW KENYA AIRWAYS LOSS MILLIONS ON THE SCANDAL.WHEN HE GOT ARRESTED BY IVORY COAST POLICE,THE SAID FAMILY RESCUED HIM AND FINALLY HE CAME BACK,TAKEN TO SOMALI TO HIDE BY KQ AND FINALLY DEPLOYED TO HR,CEO OFFICE AS SECURITY OFFICER THEN AFTER THAT MOOD WAS OVER GOT PROMOTED AS INVESTIGATING OFFICER WHICH HAS SEEN MOST KQ PROPERTY INCLUDING LAPTOPS GET STOLEN,THIS MAN IS GERARD LIMO.
ALONG STORY BUT JUST TO SAY DICTATORSHIP FROM THE GOVERNMENT HAS LED TO THE FALL OF KQ AND THE PRIDE.generally this security head oganga is very thick upstairs.
My take is what ails our whole country in general. We have not yet found leaders whether in business or in government who love our country more than themselves.
Instead its everyone for himself. Even Naikuni clearly ate and I suspect the new guy Allan also appears to want to eat.
We need nationalists, people who care. The management system is not complicated but the greed and corruption is our downfall.

Kiptanui, you've hit the nail on the head- but don't hold your breathe!
It’s curious that the CEO keeps resenting examining the past. How can he in good faith move forward with the advantage of the past pitfalls if he doesn’t? He is so timid when queried about anything prior to his assumption of office! Am I missing something here?😳
Again government shouldn’t be in the business of business. If this was a private business they wouldn’t be making such foolish decisions. Because you’d wish well for your personal business you wouldn’t milk your own business dry. But if it’s someone else’s money...well here you go
