we can fit the cloud seeding mechanism onto the normal flights as it requires a vast area to be covered in order to be effective.

Artificial Rain in Kenya
...
Kenya Meteorological Department's deputy director, Peter Ambenje, said weather modification was not new in Kenya and that it was part of Vision 2030.He said the ministry of the Environment and Mineral Resources plans to the establish a cloud chamber laboratory for rainfall enhancement and hailstone suppression.

"As a country we cannot overlook the project, we would have liked to pursue it but the problem is the cost. It is expensive to create rain, but it is part of our vision 2030," said Mr Ambenje.

Mr Ambenje said there was a complete department on the weather modification at the Metrological Department.
