design. Other than taking immediate remedial measures of redesigning and constructing the bridge, the responsible engineers who designed those roads should be held to account. I am sure that in their professional ethics, safety is paramount in the design of our roads. Therefore, they should take seriously the matters of design so that we do not lose lives as a result of design errors.

Eng. Koome is taking over when there are a myriad of security issues in the country. We hope that he will reduce the incidences of insecurity. Today, a number of places in this City are no longer safe for citizens to transact their businesses.

Continuous training and research will enhance legislations at the county assembly and improve the function of oversight. Once more, I thank the Senate for the opportunity they have afforded him to come and study.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I rise to add my voice to the matter of Kenya Airways (KQ). As you know, KQ has been the Pride of Africa. Although there are a lot of blame games on the pilots, there are a lot of management issues affecting KQ. I am not sure how many of the KQ Board Members have an understanding, training or experience in the aviation sector that would help improve resolve outstanding issues. I am sure you are aware that in the past, part of the decisions that have been made in KQ ...
