Listed carrier Kenya Airways has announced that it will beginning today retrench 38 employees in the second phase of a redundancy plan initiated last July as part of its back-to-profitability strategy.

The national airline in July last year retrenched 80 employees in a downsizing move which management said would reduce the company’s payroll by about Sh2 billion annually.
