    "content": " There is an intention through a Cabinet memo cited as “C something A”, which is quoted in this Report, which says they should expedite the resolution and the merger of KAA and KQ. Over the period, we realised KQ, in its performance as a private agency, has not been doing very well and it owes KAA Kshs3.8 billion. Surely, what the Government of Kenya has done, in its rationality, to invest heavily in KAA and the entire percentage of 85 per cent of the revenue is coming from JKIA... What rationale is there to fast-track the resolution and the handing over of JKIA to KQ? This is the basis under which PIC became suspicious and felt that there is need to look at this issue objectively through the Auditor-General. We recommended that there is serious interest by the Executive to rush this resolution. It took a period of only six months, even must faster than the number of flights KQ takes. It took six months to look at this matter. Already, they have spent Kshs150 million through a single source. Nearly 10 per cent of that money has already been spent. Are we not there to look at the expenditure of State agencies? We are here as an authority through our mandate."
