• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: I want to first laud Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. because it is important to raise some of these issues so that they are addressed. We should not be overly concerned with the divergence of views, whether we feel that we want to protect our airline or not. I think Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has done well and I must say a few things on this matter. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: First, I think that we must make agreements that we are ready to keep as a country.

It is important to append your signature to the agreement if convinced you can keep it. If you find that it is either oppressive or there are areas that you do not want to keep, then do not sign it; annex them out. That way, we will not have ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not intend to bash the KQ, but there are things that they must be told to their face to do. We cannot protect bad manners and incompetence. We have to own the KQ as a country and say that it is our national pride and do everything that we should to ensure that they continue to operate. However, the KQ should know that they are in a competitive market and fight for profitability, give excellent service like every other airline as well as up their game in public relations. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: The KQ should know that it is not going to be business as usual. We may keep protecting the KQ here with the kind of laws that we pass, but we cannot protect them from the competitors. Who will protect the KQ in Brazil or Paris? The airline sector is a very competitive industry and they should know as much. view

(Dr.) Ali that it would be bashing if what I am saying is misconstrued, but that is the truth The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 18 Feb 2021 in Senate: and reality of the market place. You have to compete for space by ensuring that you give excellent services. If we kid glove or babysit KQ, they will not survive in the competitive global market. The taxpayers will be forced to cough Kshs25 billion every year. I started by saying that we love KQ because it is our airline and national pride. However, our national pride must do better than it is doing in terms of ensuring that they give the right services. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transportation, I will ensure that ... view
