    "content": "Secondly, the construction of tall buildings in the area has also posed great danger to landing aircraft as pilots have to dodge the buildings in order to align aircrafts for landing. The problem is grave at night as the buildings are still under construction and have no lights. The situation is worse for the inexperienced pilots, who at times veer off the flight path centre line as they approach the landing, and could easily crash into buildings. (b) The Ministry of State for Defence has written to the Permanent Secretary (PS), Ministry of Lands, as well as to the Town Clerk, Nairobi City Council, recommending the following measures to ensure safety of the people around the airport:- (i) moving of Kiambu slum dwellers to another site; (ii) stopping by Nairobi City Council of construction of all buildings next to the runway or inside the approach panel; (iii) stopping of further allocation of land around Moi Air Base (MAB) until land officials determine boundaries since some of the land could be within the cantonment area. (iv) We have invited the Town Clerk, Nairobi City Council, and the Director of Planning, Ministry of Lands, for a tour of MAB to assess the danger posed by these buildings and settlement. The Ministry is, therefore, waiting for the concerned Ministry to act as recommended. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
