Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I was interrupted by my brother, Hon. Gikaria, I was saying that air travel has become one of the most efficient modes of transport. It is used a lot by the people. Many people prefer to travel by air because it saves time and other complexities of the current world. Therefore, you find that the traffic in our airports is expanding by the day. This law will give us more room to expand and open up new routes or areas, so that we can, at least, catch up with the current mode of transport. These ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the Mover was saying, some air travel agents or some aircraft operators have gone to the extent of running their businesses like matatus or the vehicles we have on the roads. Sometimes, people lose their luggage in those aircrafts and are delayed without any apparent reason. This is the case and yet there is no apology or compensation. Sometimes people are mishandled by the staff. With these new rules, we will need to put more professionalism in the operations of aircraft. The opening of new routes, and additional direct routes, is also a very important ...

I appeal to the new management, or whoever will be running our air travel, to open more domestic destinations. We have very few airstrips or airports in our country whereas people are travelling by air a lot. We do not have an airstrip in Meru.

Once the airstrip is opened, it will be a matter of being at home after 30 minutes and then being in Nairobi after 30 minutes to transact business in this august ...

Despite the fact that this Bill has been there and has been weak in its own way, we have failed to control money laundering, betting and lotteries that have made our country poorer. We will go out of our way to approve these amendments, but what remains is for the people of Kenya to have integrity and morals which are beyond reproach for us to achieve this. We have enacted so many laws in this country which can only be implemented by us. If we are not going to live to the expectations of the laws, our efforts will be ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to join you and my colleagues in sending my sincere condolences and those of my constituents of Igembe Central to the late Hon. Mwithaga’s family and the great people of Nakuru.
