    "content": "services, is also dying a slow death. A problem we have in this country is a misplaced fetish for sectors of the economy that do not create true wealth. It is not a secret that powerful leaders in this country have invested extensively in financial services. As long as financial services are doing well and growing at 20 per cent and their shares in Safaricom are doing profits of Kshs30 billion or Kshs40 billion, they do not care what happens to the farmer or to the thousands of workers who rely on tourism. If the Government cannot fix issues of insecurity, if the Government cannot adequately and with the confidence revive the agricultural sector, even if Kenya Airways had the right strategy and even if we had to limit instances of interference, probably Kenya Airways would still struggle to get the numbers to hold on. Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to conclude by supporting the call that we need to set up a small team to get into the depth of this. I sit in the Committee for Transport and Roads and we, probably, could set up a focus team to look into this. There are so many Kenyans who have invested their hopes in terms of shares, but they have not received returns. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
