    "content": "that have tried to fly to places like Kakamega have since stopped simply because of the kind of monopolistic tendencies that have occurred. Those who own planes have no opportunity to hire out transport services. They are actually limited with regard to who they can do business with. Statistics do not lie; they are very clear. Indeed, we need to liberalize our air space. We need to have more people travel because it is better for our economy. It is going to save time and money. As we move from the middle level economy, there will be some form of distribution and access. Instead of having all those accidents we are having at night because of our reckless driving of the buses, we will be able to have traders, connect our people and countries in the region. You will be surprised that sometimes it is even more expensive to fly to Dar es Salaam from here than it would be to a destination in another continent. This is totally unacceptable because, if that continues then it means you are limiting our interaction. If you are to have a common market and better returns in terms of investment, then it is important to facilitate transport services. The cost of running a jet or a chopper is not that high. Even fuelling them is not that expensive. However, if you see the kind of profits that are being made, including airport taxes and all of those, I think there is a whole gambit of issues that need to be addressed in the aviation industry so that we ensure that we maximize on our air space to better our economy and make our country move forward. I beg to support."
