    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, obviously, we can consider some of the minimal interventions that can be made within the budgetary constraints that we have. But most of those airstrips are across the country – because it is not unique to this particular airstrip. They were there and were being maintained within the framework of the Provincial Administration. They were all then taken over by the Kenya Airports Authority for maintenance. But we have done assessments of when they are ever used for commercial or civil aviation purposes and you will find that most of them do not fall within that category. For security purposes, there is a mechanism through which, if there was a use intended for that day, there is a way they would clear and use it for that day. So, we are not putting anyone at risk from a security perspective; that the airstrip cannot be used. It is there and available. We would ask the leadership within the area also to ask the people to desist from bringing their animals into the public places. Again, it is within the mandate of the local councils in terms of where animals can be grazed and where they cannot be grazed. But we will do all that we can do in terms of securing facilities; not just this one, but across the entire country."
