    "content": "It is guided by an Act which this House passed. If we amend the section on how revenue will be shared without amending the KRA Act it will not work. I will propose an amendment during the Committee of the whole House to amend the KRA Act so that it can be in line with the Civil Aviation Act. If we do not do that, it will not work. Another issue is about the board of directors. If you look at who will be the board members, you will find that the independence that the KCAA wants will not be attained because the system of appointing the board of directors is the same old one which we are using at the moment. The Principal Secretaries (PSs) or the Cabinet Secretary (CS) are the ones that appoint directors. In this country, the CS appoints directors who were politicians, former Members of Parliament (MPs) and people who will not bring independence to the Authority. There is need to amend that section if we aspire to make the KCAA independent and make it work effectively so that it can provide security, monitor planes that come to this country, give certification to aircraft that land in this country and satisfy personnel. This cannot happen if there is no proper funding to the KCAA because it requires a lot of money to do that. This can only happen if the Civil Aviation Act is amended. With those few remarks, I support."
