I urge hon. Members of Parliament to exercise respect and decorum when they refer to another hon. Member of the House and where a response is required. I would like to educate the young Member of Parliament that the terminology “national carrier” does not appear in any of our laws or statutes or Acts. It is just a terminology in passing. In other words, there are countries in the world that do not have what we call “national carriers”, yet they have registered airlines. This is an honour that we have given to Kenya Airways, and it receives certain preferential consideration from me, as the Minister for Transport. It is not by law that we refer to it as our “national carrier”. I can stop referring to it as the “national carrier” even today, if I so wish and it will not have any cause to demand that it be referred to as such."}
