Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) is set to partner with Uasin Gishu County in an effort to promote horticultural sector in the county.
Speaking to the press on Thursday, Uasin Gishu Deputy Governor Daniel Chemno said that the meeting with the authority's chairperson was meant to discuss ways of repositioning aviation in the county’s economy.
“We met to develop a way of promoting exportation to jumpstart the horticulture industry in the county,” Said Chemno.
KCAA chairperson Samuel Poghisio said that the aviation industry has a high potential in the county.
“Never under estimate the potential of aviation in this county. It has a capacity to grow,” he said.
Poghisio said that the authority was making an effort to ensure that air transport became more popular in the country.
“We will also indulge with counties in training aviators, and even promoting trade and agriculture fair,” said Poghisio.
He said that the authority will work together with county government to revamp dormant land owned by airport authority.
“We encourage financiers to start investing in Eldoret because the city supports more activities,” he added.
The corporation is responsible for regulating the aviation industry in Kenya.
