"content": "increased number of airlines coming to our country, we will have increased aviation safety. We will also apply our domestic laws. There will also be recognition of our certificates and licences, which means our revenue stream will enhance. It is also worth noting that we are bound to benefit through customs, duty, taxes, charges and transfer of earnings. Principles governing operation of the agreed services are also contained in this agreement. Commercial activities will no doubt increase. Provision of information between the two countries, user charges and settlement of disputes are entrenched in this agreement. They will obviously provide a lot of opportunities to this country. I do not want to over-emphasize that Russia is one of the countries in the world that are known. I remember when we were children we used to hear of the Russia Hospital in Kisumu, which was financed by the Russian Government. How happy would we be to have some of those direct benefits accruing to us as a country and to Russia? I am certain in my mind that the aspect of tourism which this country and the Russian Federation are known for, are areas that we would have an increase and influx of tourists. That naturally, in effect, will have the aspect of job opportunities and many other attendant opportunities. There would be an increase in the number of students going to the Russian Federation. Students who have managed to find their way to the Russian Federation had to go through many bends to arrive there. With those direct flights between Kenya and the Russian Federation, I have no doubt that we will benefit as a country. We will have also opened up those networks across the globe. When you pass through Dubai, you will be amazed with the kind of enhanced network interaction in the whole world. If the House passes the Motion which I have no doubt it will, we will have direct communication with South Africa, Botswana, the Russian Federation and all those other countries where we do not have direct flights. This will enhance and increase commercial activities to our country which will definitely be beneficial. As a result, I beg to second."
