    "content": "The Speaker and the Clerk allowed us to go for a retreat during this difficult period to ensure that the process is adequately done. Unfortunately, from the two days that we were given, this Report was exhausted within two hours. One of the key issues that I raised on the day that the Report was exhaustively done within two hours – and the Hansard will prove me right – was the issue of public participation. The stakeholders I mentioned were the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Competition Authority of Kenya to look into the issue of competition laws. I can remember vividly that we gave them one day only within this Chamber. The guidance the Chair gave was that we could only extend for two hours because of COVID-19, and that it would be difficult to continue dealing with the issues. I can assure you that the process was not exhaustive. That, notwithstanding, we were supposed to review exhaustively various documents that were presented by those stakeholders, including a transaction advisor’s progress report from the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). This Committee had no access to important reports even for a single day. They could have informed us. We were all in agreement that we must save Kenya Airways (KQ) during this difficult period. We were supposed to do it in a good manner. We were to conduct exhaustive public participation and review all relevant documents. I have the transactions advisor’s report which the Committee has no access to up to date. The Committee had no access to an important evaluation report of the KAA. This Report was done within two hours. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
