    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution. I rise to support Sen. Ogola’s Statement on the expansion of airstrips. It will be a bit unfair for my learned friend, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda to stand before the House and talk about the expansion of Kisumu International Airport, whereas we have other counties without airstrips. As we speak, the only flight to Kitale in Trans Nzoia, the Safari Link, has opted to stop their flights from 9th June. This is because the airstrip is small. So, I want to support this Statement. This should be an issue that the national Government should take as a priority because of issues that Sen. Mumma has said. Trans Nzoia is also the breadbasket of this country and we have floriculture; we have people planting different types of crops. The national Government should take priority to expand airstrips such as the Trans-Nzoia airstrip. The Senator has talked about the Baringo Airstrip and the small airstrips that are there in this country, not concentrating on international airports like Kisumu Airport. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, and I support this Statement."
