    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a matter of national importance, because it is affecting national security installations at JKIA. Strikes are normal in this country. The other day, nurses were on strike for two months. Teachers were on strike for several days. Lecturers were on strike for many days. Strikes are normal. They are allowed. That is how people like Hon. Milemba came to the House. They earn their living through organising strikes. That is a normal matter. We should not blow it out of proportion. I urge the management of KQ and especially the management of KAA to look into the issues that members of staff from those organisations are raising. Let us not trivialise the matter. We will talk about other issues that Members are anticipating on another day. Whether they are mergers, acquisitions or anything else, we will discuss them at the right time when they are brought to this House in the manner they are supposed to. If we trivialise the matter of the strike, we will lose the issues being raised by members of staff of that organisation. Their grievances might be important. This House does not have the mandate to run JKIA. We can only discuss them if a substantive report is brought to this House so that we look at the merits and demerits of that report. If we convolute issues and consider strikes and mergers together, we will have patients dying without the doctor visiting them. We cannot allow a patient to die without giving him the necessary attention. I urge the management of KAA to look into the issues and grievances that their members are raising and let that matter end there. If Members want us to talk about mergers, let us meet here and agree that we are discussing mergers."
