    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am trying to get away from the rim of having to talk about private companies and how they pay one another. The information that is in my control is the collective bargaining agreement that has publicly been negotiated between the Kenyan workers and what they have signed for as being happy with. I do not want to start getting the collective bargaining agreements of KLM in Europe and their managers because that information is not available to Kenyans. However, we have institutional structures in place to ensure that people who work for Kenya Airways have a negotiating mechanism and are happy to work for the airline and are highly motivated. Those employees will continue to work for the airline as the first employer of choice. That is the assurance. That is what we are working towards getting. In terms of comparing what a manager is paid in KLM and what a manager in Kenya Airways is paid does not help us in any decision-making in this House. I would like the hon. Members to appreciate that and we move forward in terms of what we can do to help Kenya Airways to become the airline of choice for every world traveler. That should be our responsibility. We should let the union negotiate for better pay and conditions of service for the union members."
