    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to thank hon. Omar Mwinyi for coming up with this Motion. I concur with my colleagues that this Motion is, indeed, very important for this country. It is also very important for the economy of this nation as well. There is an increased awareness of air transport in Kenya now, unlike in the past. The population of this country has equally increased. Therefore, most people are actually looking at air transport as a major means of transportation. The current status of the country, as a middle income economy, speaks volumes as far as air transport is concerned. Our current system of governance provides for the national Government and the county governments. We are probably headed to a situation of creating major airstrips in all the counties in this Republic. This calls for better air transport in the entire Republic and therefore monopoly of the same by Kenya Airways will be a very dangerous trend. I also concur with the Mover that a regulatory body is very important in terms of supervising the sector and ensuring fair opportunity for competition in the sector. It is also very important for us to check the excesses of airlines. With those remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
