The Kenya-Bahamas Bilateral Air Services Agreement was negotiated and initiated on 8th December, 2016 in Nassau, Bahamas. The agreement has been operationalised. The memorandum of understanding signed administratively allowed the application of the principles of the agreement within the scope of national regulations, pending the formal signing of the agreement after completion of internal procedures by the parties for it to be in force. That is why it is before this House. Also, the agreement provides multiple destinations of airlines, unlimited number of frequencies, no restriction on aircraft capacity and an open liberal route schedule.

Thank you, Deputy Speaker. On the Kenya- Bahamas Bilateral Air Service Agreement, currently, no carrier from either States operates scheduled air services on the routes between the two States.

amendment was to replace Article 13 that relates to the establishment of tariffs. That is what it is requesting to amend in the agreement that has been submitted to this House for approval.

It will allow for a more liberal negotiation of tariffs between Turkey and our country. The Turkish authorities have requested for the protocol to be formally signed for it to be in ...

Defense and Public Relations. This agreement lies squarely with the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. It is domiciled in the Department of Transport. When you are dealing with transport issues, by extension, you are dealing with the Ministry of Transport. If you are dealing with Kenya Civil Aviation (KCA), it still falls within the Ministry of Transport. So, all the negotiations in these agreements are within the purview of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and not the Departmental Committee of Defense and Public Relations. So, I want to assure hon. Members that this ...
