Drones require  a licence from KCAA.
When you apply, depending on size, type rating, operating you may require letters of no objection from other government departments depending n the infrastructure network you intend to roll out. Past a certain range of flight, you will need a channel frequency allocation and licence which would be CAK.

For your random average drone your first hurdle is KRA at importation stage.

I think drones would have to be licenced by KCAA.

Hello Listers,

I would like to know if there is any legal (legislative) requirement for one to run the following in several farms in Kenya today.

  1. A fleet of drones operating in several farms in rural Kenya.
  2. A crop monitoring system broadcast infrastructure for early warning and food security guide.

I am not sure and have done a small research on the same I have not found any requirement recently yet some years back one required some sort of license or permit to operate a drone within the airspace either from KAA or something, or CCK then. Someone, please help in clarifying the above issues.
 A list of the requirement will be helpful.
