    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. Welcome, CS for Roads, Transport and Public Works, Hon. Murkomen, to this House, once again. We appreciate the efforts you are doing in your Department, and I can assure you your work is cut out and you will need to do more. I am happy that you are a young person, because you need to put much more effort so that we can see tangible infrastructural development in our country. Hon. CS, I would like to, first, take up the issue of the unnecessary annoyance and inconvenience that is being experienced in Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) by passengers who are coming into Kenya, either as tourists, returning Kenyans or Kenyans travelling. I wonder whether you have a multi-agency stakeholder coordination team that gets to process the customer experience that people are having at the JKIA because it has been awash in the social media. So many passengers have complained. I have seen students who are being ransacked in their bags looking for new items to be charged by Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). Is that necessary and can that be stopped because you are able to tell when it is a student? What items do you expect to find in the bags of 19-year olds in order to tax? Can we do things in a much tidier way at the airport and use a multi-agency stakeholders’ approach?"
