• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as it is in the Motion, we are being asked to ratify those two agreements. The first question that I would like to address, as I move, is what these agreements are asking the people of Kenya and the House to do.

Those from Kenya to land in South Africa and vice versa. They are asking for permission to land anywhere. The same thing ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: For purposes of understanding, there are airlines which are registered in South Africa from Kenya but they may not be designated as Kenya Airlines. However, as long as they are registered in those countries, they have permission so that there is what we call a clear or level playground so that it does not mean that it is only Kenya Airways. This is because what happens to the others that are registered in this country? That is what Article 3 is trying to address. (iv) Nothing in Sub Article 2 shall confer on a designated airline of contracting party, the ... view

• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: would like to inform the House as follows with regard to the road upon which we arrived where we are to have this agreement on the Floor of the House. I want to begin with the Kenya /South Africa Agreement. The Bilateral Air Service Agreement between Kenya and South Africa was negotiated and initiated on 15th October, 2008. It is some time back. Of course then, people understand the procedure of these negotiations before they arrive on the Floor of the House. I do not know where some of us were in 2008. Of course, we were in this country ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: (JKIA) a hub in East Africa. What do we mean by a hub? A hub means a connecting point.

That way, we are making ... view
