    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Report of the Committee by just one word: This process of nationalisation is transforming private assets into public assets, so that the public can manage the assets on behalf of others. There is nothing good like being proud of your country, running your own assets and putting your knowledge in your asset. When we take the assets back to the public, experts will help us to develop policies that are going to govern the assets. This will also give every Kenyan, wherever they are, an opportunity to invest back in the country. When we nationalise KQ and KAA, people will come back saying that “this is our property”. They will say that these are their assets. Therefore, they will take care of them. The Netherlands and the Americans are very proud of their airlines. That is how Kenyans should be. The Kenyan nationals should feel part and parcel of these assets. If we privatise this one, it is only the rich who can buy the shares in the company. Other Kenyans will not have an opportunity to participate. For me, the Committee has done a good job. We want to go that direction, so that as Kenyans, we can be proud of our airline. When using the airline, you will feel that you have invested in the airline and you need to make sure it is making profit. People are familiar with good governance in the corporate world. So, we should also make more profit and make this airline grow. With those few remarks, I support the Report."
