    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Rehabilitation works at the Busia Airstrip began in the 2005/2006 Financial Year by undertaking the construction of a perimeter fence, a gate and a sentry box under the Ministry of Roads and Public Works. Subsequently, the District Works Officer identified further works for implementation at the airstrip thereby ensuring that it is maintained in a good condition for the safe operation of aircraft. The work will involve clearing, grading and gravelling of the runway at an estimated cost of Kshs5.8 million. Full rehabilitation can now be undertaken because funds have been availed. (b) The Ministry and Kenya Railways Corporation have not received any request or application for the construction of the railway crossings at Kajei-Malaba and Kiriko-Kamolo. There are, therefore, no arrangements in place for the construction of the level crossings. If there is need, the local authority should formally apply for the construction of the railway crossings directly to the Kenya Railways Corporation, which will give due consideration based on the operational, safety and other implications."
