Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this convention looks at the duration that someone can use an aircraft and when it is supposed to be taken for service. So, it is looking at a broader perspective such that when an engineer is working on an aircraft, he should not insert dangerous equipment which might end up blowing the aircraft while it is airborne. Therefore, with those benefits, Kenya will become the bigger economy in East Africa and the host of the Pride of Africa, Kenya Airways, which is alluded to be coming down. I feel that the Kenya Government must do something ...

to the convention. Kenya, being a signatory to the International Civil Authority Organization, has an attaché in Montreal who represents us on the board of ICAO and so, should we be affected in one way or another, we are bound to have proper investigations. Kenya, being the home of Kenya Airways should own aircraft. The conventional way of infantry is coming to an end and the future is the cyber attacks. Cyber wars are the 21st Century wars. It simply means the use of robots and drones. This convention stipulates that should an engineer or any other person insert a ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was just comparing that if we are to travel across continents, we are bound to travel across oceans. The most available means to do trans-ocean and trans-continent transport is air. Therefore, this convention is addressing all manner of transport. The world is a global village and we can access each and every corner without any fear.

We have hosted one of the senior-most people in this world, the son of K’ogelo who is also the President of the United States of America. Had he not had a good Boeing Aircraft called “Air Force One”, definitely he would not come here. Therefore, when we are addressing the issue of civil aviation safety, this is one thing the convention is going to guarantee us. Airspace and air transport is the safest means of transport. The beauty that comes with this convention is regional and global integration. The world can only become one when there are treaties and conventions ...

Therefore, by ratifying this treaty, Kenya will be integrated into the global world. Everybody will know the airspace of Kenya and any kind of legal or illegal atrocities to the country will be governed by ICAO. It will not only be an issue of Kenya’s airspace but Kenya as a world space. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Just to sum up as we sign this convention, I would seek that we make East Africa a single airspace rather than Kenya only. As we address faults and failures of Kenya Airways, we also need to look at those external big airlines that come to Kenya and pick passengers in Uganda and Rwanda and yet, they have locked us out of their airspaces. It is a big challenge. They contribute to the failure of our flights. Therefore, let us think big and bold and make sure that Kenya or rather East Africa has a single airspace. With those many ...
