    "content": "Notably, Regulation 1.1.14 requires flights to an aerodrome in the Northern Region to obtain the clearance not later than 48 hours before the intended departure. This constrains airline operators from offering timely services to passengers and runs counter to the principles of inclusivity. The continued application of these Regulations also seems oblivious of the fact that the security situation that necessitated stringent security protocols then has since improved, calling for a review. It is against this background that I request the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security to apprise the House on the following: 1. The justification for continued requirement for special clearance for flights to and from Wajir and aerodromes in the places listed in Regulation 1.1.14 of the Air Navigation Regulations, 1985 (Revised in 2012) despite the improved security situation in the region. 2. The reasons for re-screening passengers from Wajir upon arrival at Wilson Airport despite being screened at the ports of departure, a practice not uniformly applied to passengers from other places. 3. The measures put in place to ensure uniform security screening procedures for all domestic flights in line with the constitutional provisions on equality and fairness. 4. The steps being taken to revise the Air Navigation Regulations, 1985 to remove the discriminatory provisions in Regulation 1.1.14 requiring special clearance for flights to the listed aerodromes."
