"content": "everybody to afford to go to aviation school. That is one of the things that can make flying easier. One of the reasons why they are expensive is because they also cater for the very expensive workforce they employ both in flying and in technical support. Therefore, through this Motion, we would like to encourage the Government to set up a government school for flying so that we can have more of pilots, service crews and engineers trained there. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the predatory nature of the operations of the Kenya Airways needs to be checked. I have no problem with the Kenya Airways that I knew before, which had very good customer service. If you are in the lounge and your flight is about to be boarded, they come and call you. However, nowadays, they have become so arrogant to the extent that they tell you: “If you did not listen to the call, it is up to you.” This becomes inhibitive because they are a monopoly. Only tolerant people and desperate ones would tolerate that behaviour. Locally, we need competition. Maybe, internationally, we may need to protect our airline but locally, we need to have very many more airlines operating so that we can liberalise the market, have competition so that air fares can come down. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
