    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, without really arguing with the Chair, I am surprised that you even entertained that point of order. Hon. Kang’ata is very busy with his phone. He has not even read the Motion. The Motion goes ahead to say that: “Noting that the Kenya Airways Limited enjoys monopoly in air transport in Kenya, thus determining the rate of fares at will due to the monopoly they enjoy and that the demand for air travel has increased---” There is mention of Kenya Airways in this Motion, but above all, I was discussing the effects of monopoly. We are discussing the issue of opening up air transport for competition. When we are discussing competition, we are discussing the negatives of monopoly and we are giving examples. Hon. Kang’ata should learn to differentiate between discussing an institution and giving examples of bad practices by institutions. So, there is nothing to ask me to demonstrate. Let me wind up my contribution by saying that this House has a responsibility and a duty to protect the interests of Kenyans primarily and the interests of any customer or person who is seeking services from any institution. Therefore, this House has a duty to pass this Motion, so that the relevant authorities can ensure that we improve supervision of air travel in this country."
