    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to comment on this important Petition by Hon. Shinali. Indeed, those of us who come from that region are really suffering. As he clearly mentioned, there are very many tourists who cannot get access to the beautiful Kakamega Forest. As you know, Kakamega Town is the headquarters of the Mulembe nation. In this case, Vihiga, Busia, Bungoma and Trans Nzoia counties are affected. This is a very important place and we request the KAA to move with speed so that they can allocate some funds for the purpose of rehabilitating that airstrip. Tourists and the business community are forced to go to Kisumu or Eldoret. Kenya Airways does not fly to Eldoret. It only flies to Kisumu and any time you want to fly, the number of aircraft is very limited. When we ask the private providers, they say they want the airstrip to be rehabilitated so that they can fly there smoothly. As we talk about the Kakamega Airstrip, the same case applies to the Kitale Airstrip, which is in the same region. We only see small aircraft flying there and because they are small, they do not enjoy the economies of scale."
