Former Safaricom boss takes over KQ’s hot chair

Former Safaricom chief executive Michael Joseph has said his priority at the troubled national carrier Kenya Airways will be to implement recommendations of an audit report that has exposed massive corruption at the cash-strapped airline.

Mr Joseph, who Wednesday took over the hot seat of Kenya Airways board chairman, will be expected to oversee the implementation of a turn-around strategy to rescue the struggling carrier, which reported a Sh26.2 billion loss for the financial year ended March 2016.
