Those who claim that Michael Joseph has bankrupted Kenya Airways have no clue what they are talking about.
The person who was CEO when the company died was Titus Naikuni.
He left tattered KQ with Mbuvi Ngunze, who was courageous enough to reveal the mess (remember the 25B loss?)

I spent all day yesterday at a high school board meeting. Top on the agenda was 2019 financials & 2020 budget.
School has 900 pupils.
School charges exactly sh53,544 per year.
School has above average diet (3 eggs per week, meat 3 times a week etc)

School also spent sh3M on repairs.
Yet, school has sh9M surplus in 2019. Add sh16M saved in previous years and we closed year with sh25M.
Will spend sh23M to build new 300-bed dorm - contractor on site
Sh2M to sink new borehole - waiting NEMA approval
