Why Senate committee wants former KQ boss arrested

Former KQ Chief Executive Officer Titus Naikuni

The Senate wants an independent forensic audit done on Kenya Airways following revelations of massive misdeeds by the management and board of directors, as detailed in a report adopted by the House Thursday. They now want investigating agencies to probe the matter.

The lawmakers argued that Sh70 billion required to resuscitate the entity from collapse cannot be injected by the Government if those culpable have not been prosecuted. They further demanded the arrest of former KQ Chief Executive Officer Titus Naikuni and that the board be held accountable for the losses the company has incurred following the implementation of the Mawingu project contrary to expert advice. They have also called for the sacking of current boss Mbuvi Ngunze over incompetence.
