• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not be in a position to enumerate the rules and regulations right now because I do not have them with me. However, on franchising, I have said that my Ministry has been overtaken by events. This is because we are formulating new rules under the SACCOs and companies that the transport operators have formed. We extended the registration of these SACCOs and companies up to the end this month when we should come up with a blue print of the new rules and regulations that will be followed in the transport industry. view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to answer this Question for the second time. You recall that on Thursday last week I answered this Question, but Ms. Martha Karua tabled two documents which were meant to inform me. I would like, at this stage, to confirm that I have perused the documents. The documents only serve to reaffirm my answer that the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has never been served with any court order. Among the documents Ms. Karua tabled, is one which has had the attention of the Chair. You noted that the orders which were given to KCAA ... view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is good that the hon. Member has mentioned that she was not aware of whatever had been going on. I would like to have a look at the document she has because as I have mentioned, the matter seems to be revolving around commercial disputes between two different investors; one is the owner of the airstrip. So, I am not very sure of what she is talking about. There are so many orders which have been issued regarding this matter but it is only one that we are aware of; that touched on KCAA. So, I ... view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, we are aware that the airport is operating and the KCAA is carrying on with its mandate of safety, security and surveillance. We are aware that it is totally licensed. I saw the passenger manifest that she attached without regard to the names. But that is just to prove that the airport is operating. view
• 22 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to confirm that once we get that court order, we shall comply. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Neither the Ministry of Transport nor the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority has been served with any court order directing that Laro Airstrip be closed. (b) In view of the answer to “a” above, part “b” does not arise. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not misleading the House. We would like to know to whom the order cited is addressed to. There is no court order addressed to the Ministry or the KCAA. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me look at it. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since I have just received this document, I ask for some time to study the same. view
• 17 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my answer, I have clearly stated that we are not aware of any court order. In any case, whatever has been tabled does not stop the operations because KCAA or the Ministry does not operate the aircrafts. The order is neither directed to the Ministry nor the KCAA. We have not received any court order to stop any aircraft landing in Laru Airstrip. view
