The National Carrier was responding to social media claims and a news story circulating on online blogs alleging that the said pilot operated the plane for nearly a decade.
"The General Public is advised to treat this as Fake News as no such pilot has ever flown for Kenya Airways," Kenya Airways said on social media platform X
Kenya Airways said all its pilots as well as the crew go through very rigorous training, background, and security checks to ensure that they are qualified to operate.
Further, the national carrier said due diligence is conducted while vetting applicants including verification of documents from the institution where an applicant attended training
The clarification came hot on the heels of the ongoing debate regarding Brian Mwenda, a man who has been accused of theft of identity while allegedly practising as a lawyer.
A section of Kenyans took to social media to defend him saying this has happened in other professional spaces as well.
