    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that several concerns about the safety standards of Kenya Airways aircraft have been raised in the past few months. Most of the incidents reported emanated from acts of omissions which were beyond the airline's control. These include, among others, crew or passenger sicknesses, bird strike or air-turn- back due to bad weather. All reported incidents, including those which related to technical personnel and specific aircraft manufacturers, were fully investigated and appropriate action taken in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) standards and recommended practices. All airlines report incidents, however, minor, for safety management purposes. Actions taken to mitigate against any incident by the airline and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority are the most important aspects of the aircraft safety management. (b) The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority carries out oversight on the Kenyan Aviation industry based on the ICAO standards and recommended practices. This can be ascertained through evaluation against the eight critical elements used by ICAO. This includes the legal framework upon which the Authority operates coupled with the implementation of the operational regulations. The critical elements are as follows:- June 26, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1441 1. Primary legislation. 2. Operating regulations. 3. KCAA structure and oversight functions. 4. Technical guidance material. 5. Qualified technical personnel. 6. Licensing and certification. 7. Continued surveillance obligations. 8. Resolution of safety issues."
