    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o for leading us in this Committee, and especially giving me an opportunity to sit as an ex officio. It gave me a chance to see how poor and how weak the KQ management is. It is so weak that it is unable to make strategic decisions on fundamental issues that can make KQ profitable. What do I mean? This team is unable to make strategic decisions on planning of routes and networks across Africa where Kenya is obviously the lead airline. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having gone into partnership, which is something nice, they have concentrated on it with European airlines, where competition is impossible, instead of making such strategic partnerships with local airlines in Africa, especially the eastern region of Africa. What is more is that the team is not in control even of the benefits that accrue out of the partnership. They even have no idea of how much they get as their rightful share from their partnership with KLM. The KQ is in partnership with KLM, but when you land in Amsterdam using the KQ to go to other European Union (EU) capitals, it is KLM that takes you there. However, when KLM lands in Nairobi – it is in partnership with the KQ – it goes ahead to fly to other capital The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
