    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and my neighbour Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o for giving me this opportunity to second this Motion. This is a straightforward Motion, in the sense that I sat in the Committee of Labour and Social Welfare of the National Assembly in the year 2012. I remember very well at that time we had a problem with Kenya Airways and their staff appeared before our Committee. The only people who never appeared, and the Mover said that they are still having the same problem, is the management of Kenya Airways. The board of Kenya Airways at that time refused to appear before our Committee. This time round I saw the former C.E.O and the current C.E.O appearing before the Committee. I am surprised that they are still trying to hide some information and at the same time crying for a bail out. It will be prudent for the Kenya Airways to come out openly, so that we as a country can find ways of tackling their problems, to ensure that the Kenya Airways remains the pride of Africa. It will be prudent to grant this Committee even more than two months, because if you go to the 2012 report it indicates that were some companies that were registered in the Cayman Islands. I think it will be prudent for this Committee to go into details about how those financing companies were registered and for what purpose. It is worth knowing because there are about three to four companies that were registered at that time to provide a vehicle for financing. I think it will be prudent for this Committee that as they go to Amsterdam, to also visit other areas, so that they can ascertain why Kenya Airways bought the Embraers from Brazil, but they were rerouted through another country. I second the Motion seeking the extension for two months and also the inclusion of two young, able and energetic senators. Since they will be able to scrutinize documents well, their inclusion is welcome. They will add value to this Committee. I beg to second."
