    "content": "You remember, the flight from Wilson Airport that crashed in the Aberdares, coming from Kitale that cost the immediate death of several people including one of my nephews. When you go to Wilson Airport, and I have had an opportunity to visit the Minister for Transport, the Airport is in very poor condition. If you look at the apron, where the planes are parked and where passengers board the planes, the entire tarmac is coming off. That is why you find that as planes take off, some wheels get stuck in mud. How do you get a plane sticking in the mud before takeoff? This endangers lives. The problem with aerial travel is that if you crash on the road, your chances of survival are a lot higher than when you tumble from the air. When the plane crashes, survival rates are minimal, if not nil. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge you to direct that the Committee on Roads and Transportation gets seized of the matter immediately. They should then visit Wilson Airport, see and appreciate the economic activities going on there, whether it is Silverstone, Safari Link or Air Kenya. All those small airlines do a fantastic job of flying Kenyans around the country and the region. We must protect that area and the turf; we must make the airport usable and user friendly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
