    "content": "there was rampant mismanagement and corruption. A lot of human rights violations were going on. That is clearly indicated in our Report. I am happy that the Minister has brought this Bill so that we can look into all the issues and loopholes that exist. There are a lot of loopholes and problems within our systems. It is good that now we have a Bill that will look critically into safety, security, mismanagement, human rights and human resource within the aviation industry. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as Mr. John Mututho has said, human resource is the biggest resource that one can have in any company that exists anywhere. Once human resource is available, motivated and is able to run and manage a company properly, it will be able to move that company to the next level. It is only important that we look critically into all those issues. The principle objective of this Bill is to amend the current Act which has gaps. Always when you put a law into place, it is a law that will strengthen and build good values into any existing Act of Parliament. This Bill addresses those existing gaps. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Report that we tabled in this House - which is now a property of this House - you will see that the current management of our national carrier, Kenya Airways, has had a lot of problem. You will see a company called Samburu. There are many other companies that we do not know. All those companies have even risked the safety and security of our people. You will see people purchasing an aircraft and insist that it is new. But if you critically look into the details, you will find that the same aircraft has been used somewhere else in the world. It is important that we get such kind of Bills so that we close those loopholes. We should not have people buying second hand aircraft and pretend that they are new, thus risking the lives of Kenyans and the international community. We should be the pride of Africa. This Bill is going to close those loopholes. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our safety is the most important thing in this country. The security of our airports is the other thing that is very important. I want this Bill to look critically into our safety and security at our airports and the security of Kenyans and other people. Finally, once we pass this Bill, the human resource aspect must be looked into properly, and particularly Kenyans who are serving in this industry. Kenyans who have served in this industry have suffered in the past. What we are looking for in the future is that they do not suffer like they have suffered in the past, particularly women who work in this industry. Women have cried before the Committee. They have come before us and cried. They told us the kind of suffering they go through when they are being employed in this industry. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope that when this Bill goes through, the women in that industry will never suffer again. Thank you. I support."
