Exiled lawyer Miguna Miguna has said that he is against Kenya Airways managing the operations of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) because the two are separate entities.
According to Miguna, JKIA is a public property while KQ is a private entity.
He believes that the merge of the two is a scheme to loot the tax payer. The self-proclaimed National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader maintained that the proposal is ill-motivated.
He accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of attempting to loot resources through the merger.
“Kenya Airways (KQ) is a private company, having been stolen from the tax-payers by looting agents and others whereas the JKIA is fully public. As such, KQ must not be permitted to steal or purportedly "manage" the JKIA. Resist,” he tweeted on Wednesday.
The issue of the merger continues to elicit mixed reactions from both political divides. The National Assembly’s Public Investments Committee on Thursday last week blocked the move.
Led by Committee chairman Abdullswamad Nassir, the MPs asked the office of the Auditor General to investigate the circumstances behind the merger and table a clear report in parliament before its too late.
They insisted that they cannot sit back and watch a public facility being defrauded in shady deals.
