There are certain matters that have acquired national notoriety lately and I am speaking about the issue of Kenya Airways. Hon. Speaker, Kenya Airways has been going through a lot of difficulties or turbulences as it is in the language of airlines. This is a matter that has been of concern to the National Assembly. In fact, the National Assembly itself appropriated Ksh.4.2 billion in an attempt to try and bail out Kenya Airways - famously referred to as KQ. This matter has somehow found its way into the Senate in very unclear circumstances. I am not rising here to discuss the Senate. I am rising here to discuss the duplication of functions where Kenya Airways is being discussed by a Committee of the Senate."}
