Airline prevents ex finance capo from entering office after legal battle defeat
The airline lost a wrongful dismissal case in court
The company has endured a torrid year filled with pilot strikes over renumeration and creditors lining up after poor financial performances.
Alex Mbugua, had resorted to court to settle a labour dispute with the company after he was dismissed and after a verdict from a Labour and Relations court, he had reported to work.
According to the verdict, the airline was either to reinstate Mr.Mbugua without loss of benefits and lawful entitlement or pay him a severance equivalent to a four year pay out on his salary.
Mr.Mbugua was however denied entry by security and rather handed a notice of leave.
In an interview with Kenya's Business Daily, he revealed his ordeal at the office.
"Upon arriving at Pride Centre, I was blocked from driving into the employees parking lot or walking to my office. I was instead instructed to wait at the security bay".
Mr.Mbugua had been dismissed from the company in 2016.
