"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding aircraft safety in the country. Hon. Temporary Speaker, on 5th March 2024, a catastrophic mid-air collision occurred involving two aircrafts, a Cessna 172M aircraft, registration 5Y-NNJ, carrying two occupants, and a Bombardier De Havilland Dash 8 DHC 8-315 aircraft, registration 5Y-SLK, with forty- four occupants on board. The Cessna C172M, operated by Ninety Nines Flying School, had departed from Wilson Airport runway 07 on a Visual Flight Rules (VFR) circuit training mission. Concurrently, the Bombardier De Havilland Dash 8 DHC 8-315, operated by Safari Link Aviation Limited, had taken off from runway 14 of the same airport on a commercial scheduled passenger flight to Ukunda Airstrip in Kwale County. Upon collision, the Cessna C172M was destroyed, resulting in the tragic loss of both occupants, Captain Newton Omote Mokaya, the trainer, and Ms Mariam Yusuf Omar, the trainee pilot. The Bombardier De Havilland Dash 8 DHC 8-315 managed to initiate an air turnback and landed safely at Wilson Airport, but it sustained extensive damage. That incident raises profound concerns about the state of aircraft safety in the country. It underscores potential gaps in air traffic control, pilot communication and collision avoidance systems. Although such occurrences are rare, that tragedy highlights the urgent need for stringent safety protocols and continuous advancements in aviation technology to ensure utmost safety of passengers and crew. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. Provide a comprehensive report on the investigation conducted to establish the facts, circumstances, conditions, probable causes, and contributing factors that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

If this matter is not taken seriously, it may lead to an incursion between a major airliner heading to JKIA and another one departing from Wilson Airport."

"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the strategy to address and resolve the long-standing conflict between the Turkana and the Pokot communities. Turkana and West Pokot counties have been plagued by an inter-communal conflict since pre-colonial times. That protracted conflict has caused devastating consequences on the lives and livelihoods of pastoralist communities in those areas. Despite numerous interventions by various actors over the years, the conflict has persisted, with both the county and national leaders engaging in unproductive blame games with no lasting solution. It is imperative that we take immediate and decisive action to prevent further escalation and restore peace in that volatile region, including establishing new administrative units along the boundary. Sections 14(1) and (3) of the National Government Coordination Act, Cap 127, empowers the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration to establish administrative units as service delivery coordination units across the country. Those units, managed by National Government Administration Officers (NGAO), are very crucial for decentralising services, improving accessibility for residents, and helping resolve inter- community conflicts. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following ― The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
