On July 11, 2019, Justice Joram Abuodha ordered former Kenya Airways CEO Titus Naikuni and the airline to pay a former communications manager, Kepha Bosire, Sh10 million in compensation.
The incident occurred in October 2013, during a dinner dance at Maasai Mara, where Mr. Bosire was stripped of his blazer and asked to remove an Arsenal football club T-shirt branded 'Fly Emirates', a rival of KQ.
Mr. Naikuni had defended himself, stating that as communications manager, Mr. Bosire was supposed to lead by displaying and promoting KQ.
However, the court found in favor of Mr. Bosire, awarding him Sh1.8 million in compensation, including Sh1 million for undignified treatment and Sh7.2 million for unfair termination.
Mr. Bosire earned Sh600,000 monthly, and the airline was ordered to pay him Sh9 million as compensation equivalent to a year's salary and three-month pay in lieu of notice.
