    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to comment on this important Petition by Hon. Shinali. Tourism in western Kenya is very important. As we try to improve tourism in this country, this is an area which should not be ignored. Kakamega Forest is another example of an equatorial rain forest which can be found in the Congo Basin. Therefore, when this airstrip is completed, that region will have an improved tourism industry. As this Committee summons the Cabinet Secretary (CS) and his team, it is important for the Ministry to give an update of the airstrips in this country. Almost every constituency has an airstrip, but they are on public land that is underutilised. They include an airstrip in my constituency. I am happy because the Petition was brought to the House. I was in a meeting with my community, and they were saying that they gave 300 acres of land to the KAA, but the land has been lying idle since Independence. So, they want the KAA to either develop it or revert it to the community, and then they can utilise it to do other important things. Therefore, it is good that this Petition has come. I would like to know when the CS in charge of this ministry will come to answer this Petition so that I can attend that session. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
