    "content": "I want to think that one of the reasons air transport is costly in this country could be as a result of the taxation regimes that the airlines are exposed to or may be jet fuel is exposed to. This House has a responsibility to make sure that we review the tax regimes for air travel related services so that air transport can be reasonably cheap for people who want to travel by air in this country. As we speak today, travelling by air is too expensive and nearly out of reach for middle class Kenyans. In fact, I think this kind of review should be done more specifically in relation to domestic travel in Kenya. We should be able to connect to all parts of this country where there are air transport services and, indeed, open up other places where we can reach the country through air transport. Like my county; Migori, we still do not have airlines going there but if we would have opened air transport business to other players, they could explore the possibilities of opening regular flights to those other far flung areas of the country which have not been serviced by the Kenya Airways because of the limited number of air services that are available in this country."
