When Dennis Awori presided over his last event as a director of Kenya Airways, he termed the past months as a period of “painful decisions”.

Among the major events that marked his brief stint as the chairman of the airline was a pilots’ strike in April that cost the jobs of several top executives, and another notice that pushed him out.
