    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have had the privilege of serving in the African Union (AU) when I was the head of the mission in Mogadishu. Some of the experiences we had was the use of drones and they were just then introduced. They had not even been used in Kenya save for a few by the military. There is a lot that the drones can do if not properly controlled, monitored and regulated. I would like to conclude by saying that while we are opposed to the current set of regulations and are, of course, obviously going to annul them, it is necessary because the era we are moving towards is that of technology and the use of things like drones. So, it is important that the civil aviation sits down again, follows the procedures and develops regulations which are acceptable, which will be consistent with the law, the enabling Act and the Constitution and should be put in use to regulate and control the usage of drones. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Committee’s recommendations."
