Two bank accounts of Kenya Airways have been temporarily frozen for failure to pay Sh10 million compensation for an employee who was unlawfully sacked. The Employment Court slapped the order against the airline’s two bank accounts and that of former KQ boss Titus Naikuni (pictured) after they failed to honour an order that had directed them to deposit the sum as they pursued an appeal against the award. Through his lawyer Stephen Mogaka, Mr Bosire returned to court on May 21 and filed an application to have the accounts attached as garnishees. Mr Mogaka asked the court to issue orders attaching the accounts held by KQ because there was likelihood that the funds held by the banks will be withdrawn thereby rendering his client’s case a “mere academic exercise”.
