    "content": "Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to comment on one issue which was recently reported in our newspapers about the luggage scandal at Kenya Airways involving staff where they clear luggage after receiving some compensation from some passengers. This can be a serious issue of security because that means that the weight limit is not controlled and, therefore, you end up having overloaded flight which can cause an accident any time. This is an issue that we ask the Government to investigate and deal with. This is because lives of many Kenyans and also passengers from other countries are at risk at this time when we are saying we need Kenya Airways to start making profits and stay afloat. We cannot do that if we have that kind of credibility that we have staff and people at Kenya Airways who are involved in the luggage scandal. That is a very serious issue and the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing with the able Chair who is here, this is a matter that you need to interrogate and give a report to this Parliament so that we know the truth around it. This is because as we are struggling with Kenya Airways to make it stay afloat, we cannot allow such things to happen that can easily ruin the company. With those few remarks, I support this Motion. Thank you."
