As I conclude, we should not abuse our own installations. These installations are for this country. We are concerned about the notices and so on but we should protect the interest of this institution. So, Hon. Members and those who raised the questions, you are welcome on Thursday. We will handle it in the best interest of the people of Kenya and not favour individuals or the Government. I thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this great opportunity to reply. In replying, I want to sincerely thank you for guiding the House and Committee on how to deal with this matter that has been transacted. At the particular time, there was conflict and we asked for your Solomonic direction in the House. In this Committee, we followed your direction to the latter. That is why our Report is structured in the manner you ruled because we are a House of rules and respect. Hon. Speaker, we respect you, and I thank you on behalf of my Committee.

Secondly, I want to thank the Committee Members for being very impartial when dealing with this issue because it is a national matter. We dealt with it without emotions, fear, favour or political inclinations or thinking. You know Committee Members come from different political persuasions.

I would also like to thank Members for their contribution since yesterday up to today. They gave positive recommendations and contributions.

People would like to know what will happen after this Report is passed by the House. It will result to us making proposals to enable the recommendations to have legal effect.

As Members saw today, it is true there is some new life and improvements at KQ. Something is happening. If you look at the last six months or one year, you will see that KQ is improving. This is demonstrated by opening of new routes. They are now going to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and I want to assure the House that this is a very busy route. Our flag, through KQ, is landing at the JFK, one of the most prestigious airports in the world. The other day they opened a new route to Geneva, which is ...
