Kenya Airways (KQ, Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta) has been ordered by a local court in Nairobi to reinstate 475 of the 600 employees it had laid off earlier this year as part of its restructuring plan. All employees which have not voluntarily retired from the airline will have to be hired again based on the court order as Kenya Airways would not have complied with consultation and severance pay rules and regulations when it cut the jobs.
