    "content": "Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a petition to seek the nullification of the ongoing redundancy exercise and re-instatement of all affected employees of Kenya Airways Limited. I am rising under Standing Order No.204 on behalf of employees who state “We, the undersigned employees, being employees of Kenya Airways, state that we have been working for Kenya Airways in various capacities and at various times”. The workers go on to state that out of the entire labour force, they constitute about 26 per cent of the payroll. They also go on to say that there is massive fraud, which they have stated in this petition, involving the procurement of airplanes and hiring of expatriates. I wish to state the following:- “(i) Therefore your humble Petitioners pray that the Government of Kenya, through Parliament, nullifies the whole exercise of redundancy and reinstates all affected employees unconditionally and without any victimization whatsoever. (ii) Constitute an ad hoc committee to investigate the CEO of the Kenya Airways Limited on issues to do with outsourcing of various functions of external companies, hiring of expatriates to take over jobs traditionally held by Kenyans and other unethical practices. (iii) Suspend the hiring of expatriates and outsourcing of these functions pending the outcome and findings of investigations. (iv) Undertake a forensic audit to uncover the truth.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are serious allegations put forward by these employees; most of them are very shocking indeed. I am now tabling the petition on their behalf."
