The Kenya Airports Authority has defended their move to suspending of a contract with Colnet Limited for casual work at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport within a short period. This was after a social media outcry of some of the workers who claimed that they were unfairly dismissed from work. Reports indicated that the JKIA cleaners were sacked on Tuesday night as they prepared for their shift. But KAA Managing director Alex Gitari said Colnet Limited was requested to make a deduction on the amount that they earn but declined to do so. "On October 16, 2018, the authority entered into a contract with Colnet Limited for the provision of cleaning services for general areas and toilets at Jomo Kenya International Airport and cleaning services for toilets at Terminal 1 B, C, D, cargo freight terminal," Gitari said.
