The nationalisation process of the troubled national carrier, Kenya Airways (KQ), has reached the homestretch with the National Assembly and the government preparing to present a Bill to Parliament after recess.

Behind the scene is a steering committee mooted mid-last year to work on the financial status of the national carrier and fine-tune details of the cost and model ahead of its nationalisation.
