"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.33(1), I seek leave for the adjournment of this House for purposes of discussing the ongoing strike by the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) workers. This morning, the city woke up to a paralysis of operations at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) arising from the industrial action by the Kenya Aviation Workers’ Union (KAWU). The Union is protesting against plans for the takeover of KAA operations by the Kenya Airways. The strike will have a serious economic impact on Kenya affecting tourism and businesses, including hundreds of passengers getting stranded as they try to enter or leave the country. The JKIA is a major regional hub. There is need to deliberate on how this matter can be resolved as soon as possible. It is for this reason that I seek leave for the adjournment of the House in order to deliberate on the ongoing strike and chart a way forward. I hope Members will support this Adjournment Motion."
