    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, on Prof. Kamar’s question, I am not aware of the incident that happened during that particular time. Since that is not part of what was sought in the Ministerial Statement, I will not interrogate that process. I hope that satisfies you, Madam. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to state that the total cost for the two nights hotel accommodation, Visa and telephone expenses was US$19,429. I would also like to reiterate that the reason for the cancellation of the flight was not just that particular flight. It was because there was another flight, Flight KQ0406, which had affected the flight to Ethiopia. Flight KQ0406 was cancelled. The cancellation of that flight affected Flight KQ0402. In response to Mr. Shakeel’s question, I would like to state that it is a matter of public importance to note that Kenya Airways is a company floated at the Nairobi Stock Exchange. Therefore, it is a public company. It has shareholders who are foreigners and locals. The Ministry’s responsibility is derived from the fact that flying is a matter of national interest. So, whether the company is private or national, the Ministry has to ensure that the passengers’ safety is catered for. Even if the airline belonged to a private company and a question is raised in this House, it becomes the duty of the Ministry to find out exactly what happened in order to respond. Thank you."
