Kisumu County workers have now been banned from using Safarilink Aviation Limited while travelling on official duties due to “exploitative” charges.
County Secretary John Auma has said that the directive is part of new austerity measures meant to avoid wastage of resources.
“It has been decided that the County Government of Kisumu staff travelling on official duty by air should cease to use Safarilink airline due to their exploitative charges,” he said in a memo to departmental heads.
The directive, which takes effect immediately comes days after governor Anyang’ Nyong’o protested for being charged Sh19,000 for a one-way flight from Nairobi to Kisumu instead of Sh5,500 and Sh7,000.
