My Ministry has taken all the necessary steps to improve the condition of Bura Airstrip. In the 2004/2005 Financial Year, a sum of Kshs500,000 was issued for the repair and maintenance of the airstrip. The funds were issued for bush-clearing, spot-patching of the runway, improvement of the access road to the airstrip and procurement and installation of a windsock. In the next Financial Year 2006/2007, a sum of Kshs500,000 will be allocated for the general maintenance of the airstrip to keep it in good condition."}
