"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, actually we are discussing an issue touching on livelihoods of the whole region called Upper Eastern and Central Kenya. When we are discussing issues of serious national importance, the Senator for Uasin Gishu can also do business in Isiolo. So, when we are addressing matters of national importance, he should not just take these issues as regional or county matters. Hon. Cabinet Secretary what I was saying is that the investment in Isiolo International Airport is non-functional and that is shameful to this Republic. More than five years ago, I visited the CEO of KAA and he gave me the same report, that we need Kshs4.8 billion from the exchequer. That money can be obtained through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) to actualise that airport. A sum of Kshs4.8 billion is very little if you want to rescue Isiolo International Airport. We do not need to do everything the same day. If it is expansion of the runway, it is Kshs1.5 billion. Why do you not start with that as you look for more funds to do air traffic control and fire station, for example? Why do you not start with Kshs1.5 billion for extension of the runway, so that we have that airport functioning? Hon. Cabinet Secretary, we have a similar question about miraa accidents along Meru-Nairobi Highway. Those are as a result of the non-functioning airport in Isiolo."

If we corrected even just one issue, including the vegetables that we produce--- Sen. Dullo, you know that from Nanyuki to the junction to Isiolo, there are a lot of flowers and vegetables that need to be ferried through Isiolo International Airport. There is now an abattoir in Isiolo. That meat needs to be transported to Saudi Arabia through Isiolo International Airport. Therefore, that is an important facility that should be completed. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
