"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue which is very important is our airstrips. The airstrips in our counties are not in good state. We have an airstrip in Kirinyaga County which has been there for a very long time and it is now used for grazing cows and goats. So, you wonder why it is there. It should be functional so that it can transport goods from Kirinyaga to markets here in Nairobi. We have vehicles ferrying miraa from Meru which move at very high speeds thus killing people on the roads. Recently at Mwea a car killed a married couple who were on a motor bike just because its driver was in a hurry. If we have Kirinyaga or Meru airstrips working, they can be used to transport miraa to Nairobi within a very short time. That also creates employment opportunities. So, we really need airstrips to be looked into in every county. Let us have airstrips working."
