    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Kisumu Airport Runway was constructed in 1976 but due to ageing, poor maintenance and poor drainage of the facility, the pavements have deteriorated and require frequent repairs. Following the repairs which were undertaken in November and December, 2006 the runway and associated facilities are now inspected daily. Any critical failures detected are immediately attended to by a maintenance team from the Kenya Airports Authority. Presently the runway has no potholes. May I also add that the Government has set aside funds for its modernization by way of total reconstruction of the runway; provision of a new terminal building, a control tower and installation of modern navigational aids. This will enable it cope with larger aircraft and increased passenger and cargo traffic. The procurement process has begun and it is expected that the works will commence between August and September, 2007."
