    "content": "Hon. Chirchir): However, because we have already started the works, we will pay attention as a Ministry and give priority to ensure that when the limited resources are being shared out, we do allocation and ensure we complete that work. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the next question on air transport, this mode of transport is a vital component of our national infrastructure; significantly contributing to economic development, tourism and regional connectivity. As Kirinyaga County, just like other counties, seeks to enhance its economic prospects and improve accessibility, understanding the government's strategic plans and policies for air transport development is essential. The Ministry, through its implementing agency, Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), is currently developing a policy on development, rehabilitation and maintenance of airstrips that will provide a framework for preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance and reconstruction works, including allocation of financial, human resource and technological applications in maintenance and repair activities. In addition, it will also guide the respective coordination roles and responsibilities of the appropriate functional areas. On the issue of the steps the Ministry is taking to construct airstrips in all the counties, the Ministry of Roads and Transport, specifically the State Department of Transport, has undertaken several initiatives to construct and upgrade airstrips in various counties. Like I mentioned earlier, this is part of a broader effort to enhance connectivity, promote economic growth and improve access to emergency services.
