Unfortunately no Kenyan has the kind of turnaround experience that is needed at KQ. Only Mbuvi possessed something close
Ngunze is not close at all. He has no proven track record.
You can now see the stark difference.
Just wait for serious steps to be rolled out. Ngunze was just relying on MCkinsey.
@ArrestedDev... you may be the next Ngunze in another setting, it's good to give people a chance. I think the problem was Naikuni and the Ambassador. Mr. Ngunze inherited a company in trouble, though he himself might not have been entirely blameless because he was also an insider during Naikuni's reign.
As they say hindsight is always 20:20. I think looking back it would have been better to imagine the worst going forward, that KQ would dive deeper into losses if the situation was not arrested. Subsequently, have an external guy as Group CEO to give a fresh outsiders perspective and then have Ngunze as deputy CEO for a few years with him eventually taking over.
Surely, a proper succession and business continuity model should be championed by the government for some of these strategic corporations.
One thing which we have to learn as Kenyans is INTEGRITY! That's not to say that foreigners are perfect. I think it would be naive to think that they are perfect. Corruption is so rampant and a lack of INTEGRITY will continue to limit our achievements.
There are too many opportunities all around. Open your eyes and maybe you'll spot one
