    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think hon. Kabando was not listening. I talked of a personal experience. This personal experience was raised with the CEO of Kenya Airways, Mr. Titus Naikuni. I am not talking about something that Kenya Airways does not know. It is not once or twice; rather it is several times. Hon. Kabando, a man I truly respect cannot deny me an opportunity to share with Members the experience that I have had because that is a fact and we are trying to help our own to up their game. I have looked at the structures of the KCAA and I am concerned that, perhaps, due to political expediency the construct of that Authority which is the industry regulator was done in such a way to make it deliberately weaker than some of the operators in the industry. As a result, KCAA today cannot even retain competent technical staff who run away routinely. In fact, some of the KCAA staff are frequently poached by the people it is supposed to regulate like KAA and Kenya Airways because of better terms. It is important that this House strengthens the industry regulator so that it is better able to regulate the aviation industry in Kenya. This House needs to push the Government to put measures in place in order to fully liberalize air fares so that Kenyans who are the majority fliers can benefit."
