    "content": "(KQ), Mr. Kilavuka when he appeared before our counterparts in the ‘lower’ House. He said that by 2024, we would have bailed out KQ with Kshs212 billion. If it was a CEO in the private sector admitting that they needed Kshs212 billion out of losses they have made, he would be in trouble. That is an adverse opinion by the Auditor General. That person should be out of office. I agree with the Statement by Sen. Omtatah. Why would we bail out circus and other institutions such as KQ when they do not give even Mshwari or complimentary tickets in their air tickets? KQ is the most expensive air tickets to travel across the country. We must be deliberate. Let the Kenyan money be used for the benefit of Kenyans. We do not need to bail out any institution. If that institution is underperforming, let it be allowed to go under and be given other options. What is happening in KQ is very unfortunate, but we must bring changes. I remember there was an Aviation Bill in the last Session. We must look at the possibilities of nationalising KQ to ensure we turn it around to profitability and fight state capture among public institutions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Okiya Omtatah and commend all colleagues that have contributed today. I support all the statement."
