    "content": "What Sen. Poghisio and Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko are saying is exactly the problem. Nobody is arguing for the use of or otherwise of drones. What you are arguing for is this lazy Government technocrat who sits down and draws up one statement saying drones are banned from flying in particular spaces. Drones have got specifications. We are not asking that the highly technical ones like what is used in Rwanda to drop drugs that have got the ability to fly from one particular from one region to a further distance. We are talking about people being diligent in their work. If you are paid to think, then think through a policy decision. Ban out in specific areas, do not just ban out in the entire country. For sure, in a place like Kericho where the only plane that they see is in way thousands of feet above sea level because there is no airport within, what is the problem in using a drone for photography? It does not have the ability to get high up to beyond 5,000 feet to interfere with a flight path. That is the point that we are trying to make; the fact that there is a blanket ban. That is the point that I want my colleagues to understand that Government officers should be diligent. As they make decisions, let them know that those decisions affect the lives of people. That is the simple point we are trying to make. Therefore, it is in that thinking that I agree with Sen. Sakaja. Thank you.
