@JamesMacharia_ @CAA_Kenya We already have the NCASC as enshrined by the NCASP & Annex 17. Why the replication as opposed to just adding facilitation issues to it. Allowances for cronies ? Thread @Anon1KENYA @ajfactual52 @mlimakenya @Hitlerlaw2

Facilitation. The efficient management of the necessary control process, with the objective of expediting the clearance of persons or goods & preventing unnecessary operational delays. Which can be handled by the existing NCASC, Is another Committee necessary?

It goes without saying that, ours is a circus. If at all you cared to validate the NCASP effectiveness(Annex 17 Standards 3.4.4 to 3.4.7), Thro a working NCASC, that is, would we need a component of its work replicated through a whole NATFC, essentially made of the same people?

While control & supervision of the NCASP, on paper remains with @CAA_Kenya, ultimately, a balanced Govt approach to the establishment, coordination & maintenance of a viable oversight system that best addresses Facilitation, is well within the NCASC mandate.

As much as on matters Facilitation, Yes ICAO recommends that States should establish National Air Transport & Airport Facilitation Committees. But, if the one on AVSEC, the NCASC is working effectively, why replicate an overlapping issue ? Is that not a waste of time & money?

Each ICAO Member State is required to establish, implement & maintain a written NCASP. It's objective being to protect the safety, regularity & efficiency of international civil aviation in the State by providing,
thro regulatory, practical & procedural safeguards.

That said, since the NCASP already enshrines, that an NCASC exists for the security side of the coin, which in essence already covers facilitation. Do we really need a stand alone NATFC ?? The answer in all due honesty is NO. Just add the tab to the NCASC, save time & money.

Moreover, aren't the members of the NCASC, the same ones appointed into the newly formed NATFC ? Yes they are. So when meeting as they do, can't facilitation be an agenda addendum ? Yes it can. But cronies must have a double sitting allowance, because ni cia muitika ?

@JemesMacharia_ @CAA_Kenya @GilbertKibe Sincerely speaking. We really do not need a stand alone NATFC, when the AVSEC one NCASC exists, just add the Facilitation agenda to it & have a stringent follow up mechanism. It is that simple. @VictorMwambacha @threadreaderapp unroll.
