I support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. It is important that, as a country, like all other countries in Africa and the world, we support a Kenya Airways that is robust and can stand on its own in future. If substantively, we have KAA run by a different vehicle that will ensure that our airline survives this rough patch that will be the best direction to go. I have seen how England, Qatar and US treat their citizens on their airlines, and I would like to see a situation where Kenyans who live abroad feel that we have an airline that cares for them when they come back home. This is our own brand. This is Kenya. I support building a Kenya Airways that keeps our brand the world over. Thank you."}
