Kenya will negotiate with 35 partner states for new air navigation spaces when the International Civil Aviation Organization comes to Nairobi next month.
Kenya Civil Aviation Authority director general Captain Gilbert Kibe said the event will save the country time and money spent in making the trips.
“Normally, a partner state has to visit another state to negotiate on new air services, place rules or amendments.
“This will improve the consensus made on practices to support efficient safe and economically sustainable sector,” Kibe said.
The KCAA signed a training agreement with US Federal Aviation Administration on October 26 to have flight safetyinspector courses provided at the East African School of Aviation in Nairobi.
The agreement makes EASA a training venue for FAA in the Africa region.
This agreement comes after the country was granted International Aviation Safety Assessment Category 1 in early 2017 by FAA, providing the basis for the current US-Kenya direct flights. Transport CS James Macharia said the event would provide and opportunity for integration into a global air transport network.

Tanzania's Most Peaceful Election: Why Opposition Got Flabbergasted?

 By John Njoroge:  The ruling party and President John Pombe Magufuli are both leading by far (update: final results are now out, see an update note at the end of the article), trailing the weak opposition in Tanzania following the 28th October General elections.              President John Pombe Magufuli of Tanzania As usual, as the results were pouring out, the oppostion parties, activists and western propaganda machination, all over, resorted to one simple phallacy; whether the election was free and fair. Actually I heard the opposition rejecting the results on the basis of some irregularities.  Let me address that first before I share what I believe to be the reasons for weaker oppostion this time around in Tanzania.  The term free and fair has no one meaning in electoral governance across the world; countries abhor diverse socio-political systems and so is how they manage their elections. The fact that all political parties too...

Tanzania’s Manufacturing Industries Fastest Growing Sector in Eastern Africa

By Desai Magobhe, Nairobi   TANZANIA is yet again on the lime lights as its manufacturing sector continues to flourish, emerging as one of the fastest growing on the continent contributing 26 percent. According to Africa Economic Outlook 2019 report released on 4 th April, 2019 by Africa Development Bank (AfDB), the achievements came from Tanzania’s landmark decision to revive its manufacturing sector in 2015; today the sector has become the biggest contributor to the GDP among the 14 countries of the Eastern Africa region. This is good news for Tanzania which embarked on a set of reforms which include industrializing the economy after many years of relying on export of unprocessed agricultural produce. The annual report released by the AfDB is a nod to Tanzania’s ongoing reforms implemented by Dr John Magufuli and his Government since he came to power in 2015.
