More than 700 members of staff are now employed under Career Directions Limited (CDL). They earn a net salary of Ksh 36,000 per month for oth in-flight crew and ground customer service staff.
However KQ pays CDL at least 150,000/- per month, per staff member just for Career Directions Limited to pay KQ staff Ksh 36,000. No leave allowance, No medical cover for staff’s kids.
This is something which should not be excused. Just Ksh 36,000 which KQ calls cost cutting measure. How do you cost cut when you pay a go-between more than you pay your staff? How is that even qualifying as a prudent financial procedure?
The CDL/KQ staff are forced to work long shifts with few off days too.
The founder of Career Directions, Lucy Mmari was rumoured to be a girlfriend of former KQ CEO, Titus Naikuni. So the career directions deal was not for the benefit of KQ but to loot funds and benefit a girlfriend.
Anyone who is managing KQ and still doesn’t see a problem in the KQ deal with CDL should be ashamed of even qualifying to be called a manager.
KQ is going down not because it is not making money but because the company is spending more money than its making. How do you explain KQ paying Ksh 50 for a bottle of Soda they can buy for Ksh 23? How do you explain KQ spending Ksh 150 per packet of nuts they can get for a third of the price elsewhere?
Do you know that KQ senior staff delay and cancel flights so that they can get money from hotels? Like book 500 guests in Hotel A then tell the hotel to charge an extra 4 rooms for you to keep? If the hotels charge Ksh 20,000 per room, that is Ksh 80,000 per flight. Cancel 50 flights in a month and the frauds have over 4million.
That is the fraud at KQ. Mbuvi Ngunze, Naikuni, Alex Wainaina, Chris Kirubi, Lucy Mmari etc are behind these and should be charged in a court of law.
