In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Apprise the Senate on the current operational and financial status of KQ, stating measures, if any, to address significant losses by the airline, which stood at Ksh38.26 billion by December 2022. (2) Outline strategies that the management of KQ has implemented to ensure timely repayment of loans without incurring additional interests and penalties. (3) Provide reasons contributing to the increasing operational costs of the airline. (4) State the number of employees, their skills and jobs assigned, and address the concerns that the management has favoured recruitment of foreign workers for positions that could be filled by Kenyan professionals. (5) State the extent to which KQ’s revenues were affected by the stalling of a Singapore Airlines cargo plane on the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) runway on 17th April, 2023, spelling out measures that have been taken to prevent such occurrences from affecting the operations of KQ. I thank you."
