"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I must say that this is a very sad moment especially for us Members discussing the near demise of the Pride of Africa. Sincerely, when we travel abroad on official duties, for example, to the United States of America, by the time you are in New York heading to East Africa, you will most likely travel aboard Emirates. When you touch down in Dubai, you are most likely to come home aboard KQ. It is joyous to see the KQ uniform and to know that these are our people ready to bring us home. Just like any other jewel, anything successful in this country becomes a target of greed. Besides the issue of KQ that we are talking about today, somebody has enumerated so many other companies that have gone under. We destroy them with our own hands. I do not know what we are going to do to change the values of our people, so that they yearn for development and better life than destroying the little that we have built. It is very sad to think where we are heading. I support my colleague who has proposed to set up a select committee. That is the best we can do to heal what is ailing the Pride of Africa. If KQ collapses, it will have an untold impact on our economy."
