    "content": "cities of Africa. What is the benefit of being in partnership with KLM? My understanding is that as soon as KLM lands in Nairobi, it should allow the other passengers on transit to be taken to Dar es Salaam, Moshi, Kigali, Entebbe and so on, by the KQ. However, that is not being done. Secondly, this report should serve to hold some people accountable. Two of the members of the board who represented Kenya, on behalf of the Government – because of our majority holding in this franchise – should be held accountable. This is because we found that they were not attending board meetings. So, there was no way the taxpayer could be protected because the two Principal Secretaries (PSs) – one at the National Treasury and another one for Transport and Infrastructure – have not been sitting in meetings. Thirdly, I wish we had been more aggressive, but because I was also a Member of the Committee, I have to move with what the entire Committee said. We should not just have pointed to the fact that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is not qualified. A clear recommendation should have been made that the CEO, Mr. Ngunze Mbuvi, must be sacked because he is not qualified at all. That is the evidence. Fourthly, several people have spoken on the issue of forensic audit. Maybe Members do not know. The truth is that the KQ is shielded from being probed by the Auditor-General. It is true that the KQ is not being probed by the Auditor-General. I hear some legal experts have said that the KQ is a private enterprise and so on. How I wish I was a legal advisor; I would have told them that because the Government of Kenya is the single largest shareholder in the KQ, our Auditor-General should be taking priority in making sure that the KQ is audited. What is more, we all know that just a few days ago, the National Assembly voted Kshs4.5 billion as a bailout. Then you tell the Auditor- General---. Allow me just one minute, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
