He was also charged with operating unmanned aircraft system without pilot licence and failing to register the drone with the KCAA. Mr Litwiniuk was given an alternative of depositing a bond of Sh200,000, to secure the temporary freedom pending the determination of the criminal case which was slated to start in two weeks. The prosecution told court that the tourist contravened the civil aviation (unmanned aircraft systems -UAS) regulations, 2020. Under the rules, only Kenyan citizens, residents, businesses and governments are eligible to own a drone. Foreigners can only be able to own it by leasing it locally. However, the law also provides for a 30-day temporary permit that may be suitable for travellers. To get such a permit, the traveller is supposed to pay a fee of Sh20,000.
