    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Article 95 of the Constitution is very clear. This House can deliberate and resolve any issue of national importance. As we speak right now, we have just received news that someone has been shot in the ongoing strike at JKIA. This is not a laughing matter. We must take this matter seriously. The buck stops with the Head of State. The strike at JKIA is not a national matter; it is an international matter. We have investors coming from all over the world into this country. We should give it the seriousness it requires. Before a strike comes, there are grievances. We are calling upon the management of KAA to sit together with the union and find a resolution. We cannot continue losing our investments, tourists and losing the lives of Kenyans. One has mentioned that there is no Opposition. We are here as the Opposition. When it comes to uniting with the Government, it does not mean we cannot oppose. We are here to co- operate but can oppose when the Government goes wrong. That is why I am challenging His Excellency President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, to move in with speed and resolve this matter of international importance. I thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are calling upon KQ not to take over KAA. I thank you."
