    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very disappointed by this Statement. The Isiolo Airport is a crucial project for both Isiolo County and the Meru County and, indeed, other parts of Northern Kenya. From this Statement, it is very clear that there is very little political will to get this project completed. If you look at what has happened from the Statement, the runway was completed in February, 2012 and nothing happened for one year. Then the terminal building starts in March 2013. So, from the completion of the runway in February, 2012 to March, 2013 absolutely nothing happened. The third phase which is access roads, parking area and drainage works, they say the tenders are expected to be advertised in June, 2014. That is another year which goes before tenders for the third phase are advertised. This is a small airport. So, why should it take the Government between 2010 and 2016 to complete? That is why I am saying there is very little political will. Could the Committee Chair explain why we needed three different contractors for this particular project? Are they satisfied that the budgetary allocations of Kshs400 million would be sufficient to complete this project within the stipulated time?"
