    "content": "The Nang’ina Airstrip was established in the 1950s and was majorly used for medical evacuations during the colonial days and early years of independence. The Airstrip was last used in 1974. On 28th June 2020, the Government made a pronouncement through the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and ASALs, that Kshs 50 million was set aside for the rehabilitation of the Airstrip and that works would commence immediately. It is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson, the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public works and Housing on the following: (i) In view of the pronouncements stated above, could the Chairperson clarify when the proposed works on the airstrips are expected to commence and what is the nature of the works that have been proposed to be undertaken. (ii) Could the Chairperson provide information whether the relevant ministry has undertaken the requisite environmental and social impact assessment? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
