"content": "Airways does not continue being the only player in the air transport. Due to the monopoly, the fares are very high. The common man cannot afford the air fare. This is the fastest mode of transport and enables you to do what you want to do at the right time. As we grow socially, politically and economically, the air transport should be liberalized to ensure that there are other players. We have major challenges in this sector such as traffic jams in our airports. I look forward to a time when I will fly from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Suneka in Kisii and not through the three airports, namely, Kisumu, Mombasa and Nairobi. The fares should also be reduced, so that everybody can use air transport. Air transport is now the preserve of the rich and beyond the reach of the common man who is also supposed to enjoy the fruits and benefits of our prosperity. I urge this House to ensure that there is a regulatory body that will ensure that more domestic flights are approved. This House should ensure that this is done, so that we can make it easier for everyone of us to enjoy air transport. I support."
