    "content": "With regard to running of the airport, JKIA cannot be run by KQ. This is because KQ has no experience in running airports. The Committee talked about other airports like Dubai and Bole being somehow run by airlines. In our case, KQ may not have any experience in running the airport. Therefore, we have the idea of creating another company called JKIA Company, which is 100 per cent-owned by the Government. Most of the staff members from the current KAA would be seconded there. That would be a good option. The nominated Member, Hon. Osotsi, pointed out that we have a very bad experience in terms of nationalising companies. Our parastatals are not doing very well. Most of our parastatals, over 300 of them, are not performing well. They are not giving any dividends to the Ex-chequer. Therefore, as we think about nationalising KQ, I know the Committee has also given recommendations that they will be exempted from the State Corporation Act and many other series of taxes in order to make them competitive. My fear is that we do not have a very good experience as somebody has said. The sugar industry is on its knees. Most parastatals in the sugar industry such as Sony, Chemelil, Muhoroni and Nzoia are all performing below the radar. As I support this Report, we need to keep a keen eye on how the company will be run. I beg to support."
