National carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) plans to clear the Sh6.5 billion backlog in deferred salaries by next year in an effort to diffuse the rising staff unrest at the airline.

The airline’s chief people officer Tom Shivo said Tuesday the airline has been paying workers deferred salaries since December 2021 and they are committed to settle the amount due by June.
