    "content": "Thank you so much. Though I have heard people talking about Kenya Airways I want to support this Motion. There was a Bill that was spearheaded by hon. Midiwo in this House that established the Competition Authority. The horse to flog is not Kenya Airways. The Horse to flog is this Authority that is supposed to ensure that there is fair competition in business in this country. So, we want to ask the Competition Authority to wake up to do its job. Secondly, within the East African Community (EAC) framework because air fee should go down regionally, I know there is something going on in that regard. Let the Ministers concerned talk with their neighbours; Uganda and Tanzania. These are the people who still insist on having very high taxes on air fare. We need to have a liberalized industry in the region to reduce air fares in a manner that will promote the region. Kenya Airways has utilized something that is always used by monopolies. You develop what you call regulatory capture so no one can do anything to you. So, we want to insist that the Competition Authority should ensure that competition thrives in the air industry and the Government of Kenya must encourage Public Private Partnership (PPP) to ensure that these industries can come up and grow to provide services to this country."
