Published on July 11, 2019, a court has ordered former Kenya Airways CEO Titus Naikuni and the airline to pay Sh10 million to a former communications manager, Kepha Bosire, after he was stripped and sacked for wearing a rival airline's T-shirt.
Justice Joram Abuodha ordered Mr. Naikuni to personally compensate Mr. Bosire Sh1 million for treating him in an undignified manner in front of his colleagues and guests during an event in October 2013.
Mr. Bosire was later sacked, and the airline has been asked to pay him Sh9 million as compensation equivalent to a year's salary and three-month pay in lieu of notice.
According to court documents, Mr. Bosire earned Sh600,000 monthly.
Mr. Naikuni defended himself, saying as communications manager, Mr. Bosire was supposed to lead by displaying and promoting KQ.
However, Justice Abuodha disagreed, stating that it was inconceivable for Mr. Bosire to remove his T-shirt in the presence of his colleagues.
