    "content": "Bungoma Senator who has highlighted the line of trucks that has continued to waste time. During this period of COVID-19 pandemic, our truck drivers have been exposed to disease and inconvenience. We were told about critical infrastructure in Vision 2030. One of them is the Isiolo Airport which is classified as an international airport. It covers 1.4 kilometres. The runway is short and cracked. I put the question to the same Committee and up to date, I have not received a satisfactory answer to the state of it. It is not an ‘international airport,’ but is international by signage. Critical infrastructure cannot be international because a signpost says so. Right now, not even a De Havilland Canada Dash 8 can land. There are no cargo facilities. We are looking at the critical infrastructure that were promised under Vision 2030, but is becoming white elephants and the priority is upside down. I support the Statement. It should not be the Senator for Mombasa crying alone, but everybody along the northern corridor. Everybody along that line should be up in arms. I urge that you assign this to the Committee so that they tell us the status of all the critical infrastructure for the competitiveness of this country."
