    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a member of the Standing Committee on Transport and we have interacted with this question about Kenya Airways quite at length. This is not the first time a Senator is raising this matter on this Floor. Out of the interaction, I am convinced that the only solution to this question is getting the Government out of Kenya Airways. It is the only parastatal I am ready and willing to support for full privatisation. All of the interferences and nuances that Senators are referring to are because of the influences of the people in the Board of Management (BOM) in Kenya Airways. I do not agree with those who proposed - and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has spoken to it here - that we allow Kenya Airways to run the airports.

However, it is good that this matter is coming up for the tenth time. The National Assembly had inquiries in this matter together with the Senate Committees about Kenya Airways and its viability. I still believe that the only solution is to get Government influence out of the management affairs of Kenya Airways. Lastly, we had a very interesting debate here. It has come full circle that today Sen. Okenyuri has brought a question before the House, whose victims and the vast majority are the men. I have heard you saying that the Committee should give a demographic spread of the victims. The largest percentage of reported victims of “ mchele ” are men. Most of them are in this City. There are people who have tried to criminalize sherehe in this country by making it look like it is something that God frowns upon. I want to remind them that the first miracle that Jesus performed is turning water to wine. If these ladies who sambaza this “ mchele ” were there at the miracle at Canaan, they would have wreaked havoc because everybody in that party had a drink.
