    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Statement. I fully support Sen. Miraj on this Statement. I would like the Committee to go further than just enquiring about MIA, Mombasa, but ask about the four international airports in Kenya. The Eldoret, Kisumu and Mombasa international airports are under-utilized. If we fully operationalize Kisumu and Eldoret airports, we can begin intra-Africa trade with neighbouring countries because Western Kenya region is the food basket of the country. We can have flights from Eldoret and Kisumu to West Africa and other regions of Africa to enable the African countries trade with our people in matters relating to agricultural products and many others. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therein lies a great opportunity to open up the region in Western Kenya to trade opportunities that will provide employment opportunities for our young people. I, therefore, support and request that even as we spoke recently about industrializing this nation and getting the counties to come up with industries, particularly agricultural industries-that we will actually operationalize this airport. I thank you."
