Whatever about the performance of the TK crew, the KQ crew certainly deserves high praise for what turned out to be a decisive intervention; based on what I've read in the Aviation Herald, it is fair to say that without the KQ crew's intervention, the TK aircraft would have crashed.
Hopefully, Capt Verjee and FO Mwaura can/will be recognised for this - perhaps an IFALPA award?
