"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the sizes are the correct ones and the owners are the correct ones. This is because he merely wanted the names of the owners of the land on which Busia Airstrip stands. What I should have said in the beginning is that the bigger part of the land is actually public land. I am only giving you the names of those who own land which forms part of the airstrip. Otherwise, a large part of the land is public land. As you can see from the sizes of the parcels of land, most of them are actually below one hectare. For an airstrip you obviously need a much larger piece of land. The second issue which the hon. Member raised, and which is legitimate, is the encroachment on the airstrip. This is a problem that we have nationally. Nearly all airstrips in the country, and even airports, have had to deal with problems of encroachment. This, however, is a law and order issue which should be handled by the relevant Ministries, because they should take ownership and control of these pieces of land. Where there is a problem of determination of ownership or boundaries, then the Minister for Lands will be required to intervene."
