    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the annulment of these regulations. First, if we have such instruments operating in this country, then it is illegal because there has never been any legislation or regulations governing the commencement of these operations, either by the military, civilian or for fun. So ultimately we are in a situation in which somebody saw a business opportunity and tried to sneak in such items into our air space. It is true this is a very serious and very sensitive instrument to have in our country. All of us see the way we do some things in Kenya is not the way they are done out there. In the civilised world like America and Canada, they know the dangers of these and they have tried to come up with serious legislation and controls. Why is it that Kenya, without any regulations, allows such things to happen? This is an indication of a lapse in our governance structures. Even the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, in conjunction with other departments, are not aware of the existence of this kind of activity. So outright, what we are seeing is a business opportunity being The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
