Kenya Airways shareholders will not receive a dividend for the first time in 14 years after the carrier reported the biggest loss in the history of companies listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).
The national carrier, which is owned 29.8 per cent by the government, posted a loss of Sh7.86 billion in the year to March compared to a profit of Sh1.66 billion last year , which was still a 57 per cent drop from the 2011 numbers.
