A parliamentary committee has assured striking aviation workers it will not back the proposed deal between Kenya Airports Authority and Kenya Airways to allow the airline run a major airport unless due process is followed.

The National Assembly Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing appealed to the striking workers to resume duty, noting that house team will ensure that all their concerns are addressed first before KQ takes over Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
