    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to make a few comments on this matter. I agree with my colleagues that this is a serious matter that requires more attention than we are giving it this afternoon. What we have been told here is just a tip of the iceberg as far as KQ is concerned. I am convinced that Dr. Titus Naikuni and Mr. Ngunze are the “small fish” in this circus. The real sharks have continued to hide in the background. The real sharks are people who control the power of the State. Given time, I will demonstrate this. That is why I support the constitution of that select committee so that we can deal with this matter appropriately and into depth so that the truth can come out. I also agree with my colleague, Hon. Jakoyo, on the fact that the cargo handling division of any airline, or at least, the Kenya Airways, may be profitable, but is not a core business of the airline. Perhaps, it is true that it was making money for the Kenya Airways before it was outsourced. Who tells you that it is now not making more money through the outsourcing to the Astral Aviation Limited (AAL)? A mention of people’s names in this saga has been made against the rules of the House. That is very unfortunate. However, I want to say that it is not a crime for any Kenyan to own shares in any business whatsoever. Therefore, Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, my very good boss and leader in Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), is within his rights to own shares in any company in the manner he has owned very little shares in AAL. It must also be understood that one Raila Odinga Junior is an adult Kenyan citizen who can do business with anybody and any company. It does not matter who he is related to, either by blood or any other association."
