    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also support the wonderful and in-depth report by the Committee headed by my friend, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o. Very briefly, I want to say that national airlines are a source of national pride. It is, therefore, important for us to save our airline and make sure that we have a national carrier that is not only profitable, but it is also offering world class service. Secondly, it is unfortunate that KQ has chosen to engage in endless litigation and disputes with its employees. There must be a legal audit and a legal risk assessment done about this airline to bring this litigation to an end. Thirdly, I want to concur that time has come for the KQ to re-look at the composition of the Board of Directors, because if a company is not performing, those who are responsible for steering that company must have something to do with it. If they do not have something to do with it, it is only fair that other people be given an opportunity to try and bring that company into success. Fourthly, I think the action that KQ took of hedging fuel for a protracted period of time may have contributed to this unsustainable business model. That is an area that the KQ needs to relook at as proposed by the Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o’s Committee in this Report. 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."
