    "content": "I am sorry, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me thank hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion and those who did not get time to contribute, like hon. (Ms.) Nyokabi. My Committee went through all these issues that hon. Members have talked about; monopoly of our airlines, pricing and we have agreed that we will invite those airlines and discuss the modalities because we feel there is monopoly in this country. Some of these agreements were signed in 2011 and you can imagine from that time that there are some countries that have wanted to pull out because they have seen there were delays. I want to thank hon. Members who have contributed and supported this because, as one hon. Member has said, communication is development. If you do not communicate, then there will be no development. We have also heard from hon. Members about delays and we are going to pass that message to the concerned airlines. That is because as hon. Waititu has stated here, it is true that, sometimes, there are delays at the airport and mostly by our national carrier. I believe that this is one carrier that has monopoly in the country. On safety, this will be addressed by the MoU, article by article. They have taken all measures to ensure that the negotiations were done by very highly powered delegations. I did not read all the names that negotiated these treaties, but they are documented in the Report. So, with those few remarks, I want to plead with hon. Members to support this Motion and adopt the Committee’s Report to enable the Cabinet Secretary to prepare the instruments of ratifications of these treaties. I beg to move."
