Parliament is debating a bill that would alter how the proceeds from Kenya's aviation levy are distributed, extending the beneficiaries to include the Tourism Fund and the Kenya Meteorological Service Authority, alongside the existing recipients. The Air Passenger Service Charge (Amendment) Bill, 2025 aims to streamline tourism financing and ensure critical meteorological services for aviation safety are adequately funded.

• The aviation levy includes a US$ 50 international and KSh 600 (US$ 4.70) domestic ticket fee.
• Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah tabled the bill, emphasizing the need for sustainable financing and eliminating duplication.
• The bill has cleared its second reading and will now proceed to the committee stage for further examination.
