    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Maritime Bill was passed by Parliament and I am very grateful to my colleagues for the support they gave us. That is opening opportunities for Kenyans to participate meaningfully to the maritime transport sector. We have problems, of course, with the personnel in the aviation sector. The aviation sector is unique because it is truly international. Pilots who fly here are the same ones who fly in the skies of Europe, elsewhere and vice-versa. Even the cabin crew also participates at the same level in foreign countries and there is that comparison or internationalization of the industry. We understand that there are requests that are being made for additional funding to them in terms of remuneration, and that is being handled ably by the institutions concerned. But I would like to confirm here that we will make sure that special remuneration packages are worked out for our air traffic controllers to meet the international standards. So, they need not go on strike. They should just engage the Ministry and the parastatals in ensuring that the problem is solved."
