(3) Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to confer on the designated airlines of one party the rights of taking on board passengers, cargo and mail carried for hire or reward between points in the territories.

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, as Hon. Musimba has said, this has been a very monumental week for us in the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, which is opening the entire world. As I reply, I agree with Hon.

That is on a light note.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make a few comments. I hope that the Chairperson is listening and taking notes. Laikipia is almost becoming a field of war. I urge the Committee that as they look at the Petition, they should also look at other communities which have the right to stay in Laikipia in accordance with the Constitution which allows everybody to live anywhere in the country. Many times, the Pokot community has been on the receiving end. Members of the Pokot community who live there are also Kenyans. The only sin they have committed ...
