Bosi wa Rwandair apigwa chini

A Cabinet meeting chaired by President Paul Kagame on Wednesday removed John Mirenge as the chief executive officer of national carrier RwandAir, replacing him with Col Chance Ndagano in an acting capacity.

Mr Mirenge has been at the helm of RwandAir since 2010 and is credited with steering an ambitious expansion plan. His exit came in the week RwandAir made its maiden flight to Mumbai, India, and announced a route to Harare, Zimbabwe.

Col Ndagano is also the board vice chairperson of the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA).

Another military officer, Lt Col. Sylvere Munyaneza was also appointed the airline’s deputy CEO in charge of operations.

Mr Munyaneza replaces Jean Paul Nyirubutama, who was appointed to the airline’s board.

Yvonne Makolo Manzi, who has been the chief marketing officer of MTN Rwanda, was appointed the position of deputy CEO in charge of corporate affairs at RwandAir.

There were no immediate reasons for the removal of the airline's top executives, but reliable sources indicate that mismanagement of resources and failure to contain financial leaks could be behind the sacking.

Mr Mirenge has been credited for expanding the airline from five aircrafts since his appointment to 11 aircraft currently, including two triple class wide-bodied Airbus A330 planes deployed on intercontinental routes. The airline also has three Boeing B737-700 and -800 aircrafts.

The changes come at a time when RwandAir was planning to launch a direct flight to London, Gatwick in May. RwandAir’s maiden flight to Harare arrived on Wednesday, increasing the airline’s routes to Southern Africa to three.

While RwandAir has not started making profits yet, there have been reports of financial losses, with a reliable source indicating that an internal probe unearthed missing funds up to the tune of $2 million.

In January 2015, local media reported that employees in the ticketing department had defrauded the airline of millions of francs, leading to heavy losses. Some of the suspects allegedly fled the country while others were arrested.

Mr Mirenge admitted that some individuals were involved in defrauding the airline but said that the stolen amount was less than the $700,000 reported, putting it at $30,000.

The failure to arrest internal financial leaks is blamed on RwandAir's struggle to breakeven after heavy investment in aircraft. President Kagame, who is personally keen on the growth of the airline, is known for not tolerating financial mismanagement.

RwandAir had expected to start making profits by 2018 but the target has been revised following the addition of two new $250 million Airbuses last year.

Tuko sahihi.

Financing Model ya midege yetu sio kama yao.

Our air ships are bought in cash, and I believe their position in the airline balance sheet is not interest sensitive.
They should have reported handsome profits in their first quarter of operation.

Kwani wana cost burden ipi hata usitegemee handsome profit 1st quarter?

Kabla ya ile midege kuja kulifanyika layoff kubwa sana ya wafanyakazi.

Ile midege hawajakopa hata wawe na interest expense kwenye balance sheet yao.

wasitengeneze profit kwa gharama zipi walizonazo?

Hii biashara ni ngumu sana
Sijui kama tuta tusua kiukweli

Sasa wewe unadhani faida inatakiwa ianze kupatikana lini!? Baada ya miaka 10!? Watu hawana pesa kutokana na kuyumba kwa uchumi matokeo yake ndege zinasafiri zikiwa na abiria wachache kwa hali hii hata kwa miaka 20 faida itabaki kuwa ni alinacha tu.

Waje wachukue uzoefu kwetu. Miezi 6 zaidi ya Billioni 9 kama faida.

Faida itapatikana kwa mipango, kuhusu kuyumba kwa uchumi sijui tunaangalia indicator zipi. Kweli pesa mifukoni mwa raia zimepungua kwa sababu ya kuzuia pesa nyingi chafu kwenye mizunguko, pia pesa nyingi kuwekezwa kwenye economic stimulators ambazo ni miradi mikubwa ya infrastructures muda sio mrefu zitatoa matokeo na Hali itakuwa Sawa.
Planners wa shirika lazima waje na strategies za scenario zote za kibiashara sio case ya wateja wengi tu. Na kama wamepungua kiasi cha ajabu ningeshangaa wao kupata revenue ya 9Bil. Hakuna biashara isiyo na changamoto ila naamini CEO wa atcl ni mtu makini atatuvusha na kurudisha faida kwa wakati....

Hakuna biashara isiyokuwa na changamoto lakini usije hapa kuandika upumbavu ili kupindisha ukweli kuhusu hali halisi ya uchumi wa nchi na indicators zote zinaonyesha hivyo lakini wewe mpindishaji ukweli unajaribu kila leo kuandika uongo kuhusu hali halisi ya uchumi nchini.

Kuna habari leo kwamba kikao cha bunge la bajeti kinaweza kusimamishwa kwa ukosefu wa pesa na vipo vishiria mbali mbali vinavyoonyesha hali mbaya ya uchumi nchini.

Hebu kuwa mkweli hata mara moja usimamie maslahi ya nchi badala ya kusimamia maslahi ya wahuni wanaokuweka mjini.

Yaani jambo usilolijua ni kama usiku wa giza

Airline business, its pure science and not an art.
It doesn't have a room for trial and errors! It's wether you know it or you don't and not both.
Therefore, we will keep dragging behind.

Wewe unaonekana hujui lolote juu ya biashara. Hawa watu wamepewa ndege zisizo na terms za madeni.

Gharama za kukodisha ndege huchukua karibia asilimia hamsini ya gharama za uendeshaji.

Hawa hawana gharama hiyo, sanasana wanaingia gharama za mafuta,sababu hata maintenance cost haiwezi kuwa juu leo.

Sasa wanatengenezaje hasara,?

Mipango ipi?

Hili shirika sio geni kiasi cha kusema hawakuwa na mipango ya kibiashara?

Utawasikia wapi na wewe umetia pamba masikioni! hata kauli ya kwamba katika pesa za maendeleo 2016/2017 trilioni 11 na kutoa triliooni tatu pia hujasikia, hata Serikali kushindwa kuongeza mishahara zaidi ya mwaka sasa pia hujasikia, hata Serikali kushindwa kuajiri Watanzania maelfu wakiwemo walimu pia hujasikia lakini bado unakuja hapa kuandika pumba zako zisizikuwa na kichwa wala miguu. Ni hasara kubwa sana kwa nchi kuwa na mapunguani kama wewe. Nyie ndiyo mnawapa kibri hawa wahuni na mafisadi waendelee kuiangamiza nchi yetu.

Sijui wanawapa nini hasa hadi mkubali kuisaliti Tanzania na Watanzania kiasi hiki ili kutetea UOZO.
