    "content": "Following your directives, my Committee did not sleep for six months. We found out that Kenya Airways is finished. It is just working on mercy. If it was a human being, we can say it is breathing on a machine in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). My Committee was faced with two options among very many options on how to help our Kenya airline. One of the options was to present to this House a report on Kenya Airways and move forward. Some Members of my Committee asked why we are rescuing the Kenya Airways. Others said that we should not dissolve our airline because it is our pride, our flag. Of course, we chose not to kill the child, but to resuscitate it. That is why we went this direction and the House agreed with us. I am saying that because it falls in line with expansion, which is asking these countries to allow us to fly there. But having some boardroom debates that want to injure the process which we are taking, we will look at that again as a Committee and we might bring a radical proposal. If there is a CBA that is against expansion and making our country move to the next level, that CBA should be renegotiated. It needs sober minds between the management and the pilots, but any party should not hold this country to ransom. We will say that without any fear of contradiction. If they cannot sort out their problems, we will legislate and solve for them on behalf of the people of Kenya. So, the yellow card is outside there. Nobody should hold our country to ransom. If the House agrees to this Motion, it means that we can fly to the five countries that we are asking. If there are people playing some games that will stop our pride from flying to these countries, what does that mean? It means some few individuals are blocking this country from moving forward. We will not allow that. If that is the case, this Committee will revisit that matter and bring to the House our proposal in terms of how to address it. We will say without fear of contradiction that on behalf of the people of Kenya, we cannot allow some few individuals having boardroom games and superiority complex issues to kill the spirit of expanding Kenya Airways."
