    "content": "In moving this Motion, I would like to state that as a Committee, we had several meetings, during which representation from the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development appeared before us. The Committee considered the agreements. In considering the bilateral agreement services, the Committee was guided by the provisions of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act No. 45 of 2015. The Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development negotiates and reviews bilateral air services agreements between Kenya and other states to facilitate delegation of scheduled airlines to offer international air transport services between territories and beyond. The agreements are negotiated in line with the integrated national transport policy which indicates that Kenya is keen to liberalise new and existing agreements on the basis of the Yamoussoukro decision which gave Africa equal opportunity. The agreement enables airlines to expand their existing route network by directly operating to other markets. In addition, where the airlines are unable to offer services, the agreements allow them to enter into commercial arrangements, especially code share agreements which allow airlines to grow the demand in the other markets by putting their code in other carriers. In order to operationalise the agreements, it is normal practice for two parties to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that gives force to the agreements as it awaits the formal signing by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) or the Minister in charge of civil aviation.
