    "content": "the world over, soon being compared with Air Zimbabwe, Air Sudan or some of the contraptions that are found in the airspace flying with no schedules of flying. It is very sad that Kenya Airways is coming to that level where the bar for comparison has been reduced significantly. We want to be compared with Qatar Airlines, Air France and KLM. We were almost there until something happened. I am so glad that Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o has raised this issue, so that we get a warning sign that there are things going on with Kenya Airways, which has been the pride of our country. I think that it is still going to be the pride of our country. We must, therefore, as a country start to look at it very closely. We would not only want to look at Kenya Airways alone, but other institutions that are associated with it as well. There are institutions associated with Kenya Airways and we must continue to guard them jealously. One of them is the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and it is closely associated with Kenya Airways. It is important that as we look at what is going on in Kenya Airways; it is important to also consider what is going in KAA. Some of the things that the professor has said are not directly related to Kenya Airways, but KAA which is the ground body that assists Kenya Airways to stay afloat and in the skies. It is, therefore, important that we look at these institutions and make sure that we do not lose such a useful institution in the country. Madam Temporary Speaker, we are aware there is a great slump in the tourism industry. The numbers of travellers have reduced significantly. Therefore, we should not conceal the fact that the fall in the number of tourists is affecting the operations of Kenya Airways. We have known in this country the failure of institutions which have been supported by the Government. When I came to this city, there was an institution called the Kenya Bus Service, KENATCO Taxis and so on. All these have gone down as a result of thing ailing Kenya Airways. This is an institution that is decaying from inside. As suggested by professor, some individuals who are causing these problems are within the institution. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
