    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this chance to contribute to this debate. I read what was distributed by Sen. Anyang’- Nyong’o which was very sad considering that we are talking about an airline which is the pride of Africa. This is an airline which has taken us to great destinations. However, of late, we have noted that Kenya Airways has lost direction. That is true. I have been to many places where I am made to delay. I know what this means in terms of expense. If all that money is to be paid by the Kenya Airways, that is very sad. Going by what we have seen, especially when the late Phillip Ndegwa was the Chairman of the Kenya Airways, he teamed up with the Koninklijke LuchtvaartMaatschappij (KLM) or the Royal Dutch Airline. From that time, the KLM has been reaping at the expense of Kenya Airways with flimsy excuses that the Kenya Airways cannot fly into some areas where the KLM can fly. I really wonder what kind of corporation this is. Kenya Airways can only get you to London and back. The KLM takes you from there to wherever else you need to go; whether New York or anywhere else outside London. It seems as if the Kenya Airways has been restricted from flying into those areas for reasons we do not know. However, the reason seems to have been revealed in this discussion. Some of our engineers and very good pilots have terminated their jobs. The envy we experience from other airlines should not go unnoticed. This is true, particularly in business. Most of the airlines try to succeed in the airspace where Kenya Airways has failed. If you compare Kenya Airways with others, particularly the Emirates, you will almost be comparing heaven and earth. There is no way you can compare Kenya Airways with the Emirates because they are way too apart. We should be wondering what will happen when Kenya Airways comes to a halt when we seem to have been the top in the air? This is embarrassing and sabotage to our economy. This is very bad. I, therefore, suggest that we move in to deal with the problems which are at the airport. We should also resolve the problems affecting our airline and the management of our airline system, including our security and everything else that affects our airport because it leaves a lot to be desired.
