Maanzo on the prompt and adequate compensation. As I said earlier, we should not have been in this situation if we had recast our budgetary approach. However, we are there because of how we manage our budgetary process. I promise you that should the resources herein announced earlier, which is about Kshs100 billion, be given to the road sector, I believe we will compensate those people who have stayed for long. For the Tseikuru Airstrip, I agree and I have consulted the Managing Director (MD) who is sitting next to me. We should do repairs to a good gravel standard for the time being as we work on these contractual issues that we are dealing with. I promise we will do that."}
