    "content": "governments. None of the airstrips make profit, but they facilitate trade, movement of people and so on and so forth. As I said, we are in the process of opening up the country. We have a framework with the county governments that we do the runway and the aprons while they do the terminal building. We will need to see sustainability of these airports so that when budget is not provided, they do not become a grazing field or something like that. The challenge of most of them or all of them is not really having a bottom line in terms of revenues to sustain the expenditure or the costs that are incurred year in, year out; month in, month out. Let me then say we will work very closely to ensure sustainability of our airstrips, so that they are all functional. We will endeavour to provide the budget. The situation obtaining in Marsabit is about the same situation obtaining in Kitui, in my home County of Bomet and all the other counties. However, we will work to ensure that we make them functional to support the ease of movement of people and goods. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Thank you, hon. Members."
