(2) Whether these airlines comply with the provisions of the Competition Act regarding price setting and whether their operations amount to cartel-like behavior. (3) The measures in place by the Ministry of Roads and Transport has taken to liberalise the Mombasa air route and facilitate the entry of other airlines to enhance competition and improve service delivery. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
