KQ takeover of airport must not expose the nation

Ardent – that is the word that would describe my commitment to Kenya Airways (KQ). By choice I fly KQ unless extreme circumstances dictate otherwise. I arrived at this position years ago upon realisation that our national carrier can only compete in the global scene with our deliberate support. I therefore made a personal commitment to fly KQ exclusively. This has often been greatly inconvenient and at times quite expensive. For a long time, KQ was the most expensive airline on every route it flew. Thus, it took sheer sacrifice to stay with the national carrier. It therefore came as a great relief when the new management turned things around and now, KQ is quite competitive in pricing and quality of service. The airline services are definitely above many, in domestic and international routes. If this trend is maintained, there is no reason why KQ should not truly become: The Pride of Africa.
