    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has enumerated several incidents where this particular airline was involved in mishaps. But I want to bring one more to his attention. On 9th May, one aeroplane belonging to that same airline almost killed four Members of Parliament. Those four Members of Parliament were messrs: Rege, Outa and Magwanga. They were going to Kisumu. The aeroplane almost crashed over Nakuru. Where there is smoke, there must be fire. I had to check the attitude of the employees of this particular airline. The employees 1706 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 9, 2008 themselves confided in me that whenever there is a mishap and they ask their engineers about it, they tell them: \"Because the owners have refused to pay enough money to take care of them, we do not care if those aeroplanes kill people.\" I can assure this House - because I consulted the Minister - that this is a disaster waiting to happen. Could the Minister consider - because everybody who has had an incident with the East African Airline or Jet Link Airline has talked to us - grounding this particular airline even for one week, so that the truth can be established? The Mzungu will not lose his life. We will only ensure the safety of our people."
