    "content": "We will also get market for our produce. We are one of the highest producers of flowers. These are perishable goods that need air transport, and not any other form of transport. We will export our flowers from Naivasha all the way to South Africa and across the world because it will be made easier. If you look at our airports, including the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, we have massive land, but we have not utilised it because our air traffic is still low. Increasing the number of aeroplanes that will land in our country will make us improve and utilise the pieces of land to have space for runaways. At the moment, Kenya is using instrumental landing. Instrumental landing is limiting in terms of how many aircrafts can land at a time. There is another form of landing that is not in Kenya or anywhere in Africa. I cannot remember the name, but it is one that allows aircrafts to land blindly and even in bad weather. We will improve with increased air traffic. Many airlines are registered in Kenya and owned by Kenyans. For example, Safarilink, Fly540 and other airlines that do business within our borders. We should open up so that they can fly to Botswana or South Africa. Those are business opportunities for our people who have ventured into air transport. We will also improve airports within our counties because some airplanes might want to land in Kisumu or Narok. With those remarks, I support this Motion."
