Meshack The Ministry had formulated regulations but they were rejected by Parliament. As such, we reverted back to the old process which involved approval from KCAA and I think a security agency I can't remember which one.

Dear Meshack,
The issue of drones is a gray area. Some of the Media Houses are already using them. It would be interesting to know whether they seek permission to fly the drones as they cover news and who issues the permission.

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.
- A fleet of drones operating in several farms in rural Kenya. - 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.

Interesting question. Drones are being used even in weddings. Next they will be used by thieves to survey their target areas. They should be regulated and if they are, by whom?
