The Kenya Airlines Pilot Association (KALPA) has said there has been no structure to enable deliberations between them and Kenya Airways(KQ) to facilitate a faster resolution to their ongoing industrial strike.
Speaking during the hearing of the attempt of Court application before Justice Anna Mwaure, the association through its lawyers, Peter Kimani and Levi Kariuki, prayed for the court to provide a mediator for the two parties to resolve the matter faster as they have received goodwill mediation in writing from various industrial and law-related institutions.
Meanwhile, the employment and labour relations court has ordered Kenya Airways (KQ) and the Kenya Airlines Pilot Association (KALPA) to hold urgent consultations and provide a report by 2:30 pm today, on a resolution of the ongoing pilot’s strike.
Lady Justice Anna Mwaure noted that even though she would jail them, that would not provide a solution to the stalemate, an option she said she would not prefer.
