    "content": "you mentioned that Kshs2.9 billion has already been spent on this project, which is a huge amount, while the remaining balance required is Kshs4.8 billion. This project, which began in 2011, now appears to be a white elephant. I believe the Government cannot lack the Kshs4.8 billion needed to uplift, upgrade and develop that part of the country. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, given that the supplementary budget is currently under discussion and considering the importance you have placed on this airport, could you provide a timeline for when you will commit to finalizing this project? Its completion is important for employment and economic empowerment for our people. My second question concerns compensation. As you mentioned, the NLC has been taking us in circles. I have raised this issue on the Floor of this House multiple times, even during the last Senate, yet the same stories persist. I have personally followed up with the KAA, which has all the names of the individuals awaiting compensation. The NLC also has this list. Yet the affected communities continue to face frustration after their land was taken in 2011. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope Waziri is listening to me. This frustration from NLC has driven some people to seek legal recourse. Can he provide a commitment on when this matter will be resolved? The NLC has all the necessary information, including the list of beneficiaries. They cannot claim otherwise. In fact, there was no land set aside by the County Council at the time. I have followed this matter closely. Actually, during the last Parliament, the County Government of Isiolo submitted additional lists of beneficiaries to the NLC, bringing more confusion. This is a very sensitive issue. Can the Cabinet Secretary clarify when the outstanding compensation will be concluded and the matter resolved? Thank you."
