The Government heeded the Coast Region Stakeholders' call for open skies by granting landing rights to Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways for direct flights to Mombasa; a move that significantly boosted tourism, enhanced the local economy and positively impacted the livelihoods of the people in the region. However, while this milestone is commendable, the imposition of restrictions on the number of passenger seats these airlines may offer per flight or week undermines the spirit of liberalisation in air transport. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The justification of the restrictions on the number of passenger seats offered by Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines on their flights to Mombasa, including the legal and policy basis, if any, for such limitations. (2) The potential impact of these restrictions on tourism, trade and the economy of the coastal region. (3) The measures the Ministry is taking to ensure transparency and fairness in the implementation of Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA).

(2) The measures currently in place by the Government to prevent and respond to violence, neglect and abuse of boys and men.

(5) Look at any plans to adopt educational environments to better support the psychological and physical needs of male learners. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."}]}
