Hasnain Noorani is the founder and group CEO of PrideGROUP, a Kenyan-based group invested in diverse sectors, including hospitality, transport and energy.
“The hospitality sector in Kenya generally has been deeply shaken by Covid-19 which continues to spread across the globe. This has severely affected our hotels’ occupancy rates and the revenues hotels are able to achieve per available room.
“To this end, the situation has forced us to send most of our employees on compulsory leave since there are no guests to be served. If the situation continues, we may be further forced to close more of our hotel units temporarily until the situation gets back to normal and we are back to our usual day to day activities.”
