    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very interesting to see this convention. I want to thank the Committee for the Report they have given us on this convention. I support it. However, the challenge that we have is on implementation, particularly on domestication of such a convention. We have many conventions that we have signed, acceded, ratified, but implementing them remains a challenge. In our situation, if we do not ratify and effectively implement this convention, others will do and we will have challenges of cooperating with them. It is, therefore, important that the Committee goes further to deliberate on mechanisms of implementing this convention, so that Kenya does not only stay safe, but can be a participant in the international fora. Kenya will also be able to access partnerships that will contribute to our growth in this sector. The way Kenya is positioned in our regional economy; we need to be compliant to international laws and conditions that operationalize aviation. Recently, we observed our own Head of State return back to the country because he could not go on with his journey due to matters that were happening in another country. It should be possible for us to be proactive when it comes to instances like that, so that we do not endanger aviation activities that are emanating from our country. Kenya is developing very fast. We are now proud that our economy is growing. We have a lot of aviation activities happening in the country. This will progress if we position ourselves to the extent that our aviation businesses will be with the international community. When we do that, it will be better that our aviation authorities and institutions that are training our youth in this sector are properly informed of international requirements and laws. This convention should be a good opportunity for us to access international space. It should be a good opportunity to interact internationally, especially on matters of aviation.
