Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had pressed the intervention button when Hon. Kathuri was accusing our Committee which is very effective of not handling his issue. I wanted to advise him, although the Chair has accordingly done that. All the same, we have a Committee on Implementation which is also supposed to help us in following up some of the resolutions made in this House. I am lost for words because I do not know the work of that Committee and we hear very little about them. They never reply to anything and do not tell us the progress of ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Bill. As I support, let me also congratulate the originator of the Bill, our friend, Hon.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for welcoming the students to this important House. This Bill is long overdue. Clinical officers should have been thought of a long time ago. However, in this House, people from various professions have not been having an opportunity to contribute to this country. Kudos to Hon. Leonard! That is because in his line of profession, he has come up with information which is going to help the country move in the right direction. Through this Bill, we will set the guidelines and the syllabus for our clinical officers and, thereafter, test them to the ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support. This amendment came in so that we can strengthen the Board. If you look at the amendment, it is just including another one person who has got knowledge and experience in the field of aviation. Why did we have to do that? It is because the aviation industry is quite wide. We have got the technical bit of it, especially engineering, the air traffic controllers, briefing officers and weather officers. The fears that some Members have about the drafting should be defined in the regulations on how the industry will ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to support the proposed amendment on deleting the phrase, “landing fees”. The KCA is left with the Air Service Passenger Tax, which we discussed heavily and approved sometime last year. The KAA will collect the landing fees so that it can develop and maintain our airfields.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to give a brief comment to thank my fellow Committee members, because of the work they have put in this Bill. It has been quite a lot of work to make sure that the Bill comes to the Floor of the House, and to the Members who came up with the various amendments.

I want to speak briefly on re-classification of roads. This is one issue which we need to take very seriously as a country. That is because some of the roads were under-classified. One of the conditions which have been used to classify roads is the traffic on various roads. Some of the roads that are leading to very productive areas have been neglected for a long time because there was no access to some of those areas. An example is in Nyandarua and some areas in Murang’a, especially on the northern side.

As I conclude, I believe through this Bill and others that will be coming in and other amendments, it is good for the country to start thinking seriously of pumping in a lot of money into areas of research, especially within infrastructural sector. We need to know the causes of accidents in this country, and the unnecessary traffic jams that Kenyans are subjected to. Like Hon. Barua has said, we need to engage our institutions of higher learning to assist us in doing some of that research and giving us proper solutions.
