    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Cherarkey. The story of KQ is a sad one. For the longest time, KQ was the Pride of Africa. It was the leading airline even ahead of South African Airways. It was also ahead of Egypt Air and many other airlines. We have unfortunately watched the growth of airlines like Emirates Airlines. We have also watched Qatar Airways grow and by-pass KQ, which was an airline that was serving the whole of the African Continent. The saddest story is that I have not seen a company hitting this kind of losses, a whopping Ksh38.26 billion, without suffering the fate of bankruptcy proceedings or being wound up. Every moment, this company is injected with public funds without accountability. It is painful for me to state this. If I have ever used an airline that holds you at the airport, delay your flight for five hours without being remorseful or explaining anything about it, it is KQ. They even send you back home when you are a Kenyan and book foreigners to nice hotels without thinking much about the Kenyan. The sad part is that Kenyans are going for Qatar Airways and Emirates Airlines because of the gross inefficiency of KQ. I speak with pain because a nation like Kenya, which was almost leading in the continent, is proud to have a national carrier. It is painful for any Kenyan to consider even shutting down KQ because of its institutional behaviour. If it was in any other part of the world, they would have faced axe. As I support this Statement, I request the Senate Committee on Trade, Industrialization and Tourism to interrogate. If you may recall, a few months ago, there"
