As you know, Busia is growing into a bigger town. The County Government is going to be there. In that airstrip, there is no room for parking of any aircraft, or building a small terminal. So, discussions are going on as to whether or not it would be sustainable to spend money and expand that airstrip, or whether to acquire a larger piece of land, which is comensurate to the growing town of Busia. We can then use resources to build a better airport. Busia is going to be the headquarters of Busia County. So, they deserve something better than the airstrip that the hon. Member is talking about."}
