    "content": "Hon. Speaker, if you look at Article 226 of the Constitution, you will find that it clearly stipulates that any officer, in one way or another, who has given some direction leading to a loss in a public entity or whatever the case, should be surcharged. In this case, if decisions were made by Naikuni which were not prudent as far as management is concerned, he should be held responsible. How come Ngunze who sits in the Board of Lafarge is the current CEO of KQ? There is conflict of interest. The Sky Team, in terms of a strategic alliance, should be reviewed if it is not in the profitability of KQ. It can be stopped. It is high time Parliament takes this seriously because Kenyans have been going out to rescue KQ every now and then. We cannot rescue KQ for the money to go into people’s pockets. We also need to know who the owners of these planes are. I am aware we are using the Dreamliners and yet we had the Boeing 777 or whatever they were. We do not know where they are. We need full disclosure. Action must be taken because, as Kenyans, we cannot afford to let KQ to go down. A national carrier contributes highly to the security of a country. That is why we are saying a committee must be put in place so that we know. Let us not bring politics into this. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support."
