"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Thank you, Sen. Madzayo. Again, because the question was filed in English, I responded in English. I hope we have the printed response for Hon. Members. Hon. Speaker, I am pleased to appraise this House on information sought regarding the status of compensation framework for the planned expansion of Malindi International Airport. I have communicated through our letter of Ref. No:SEN/4S/4/CORR/Q/2025/(051) dated 11th June, 2025. Malindi International Airport was declared an aerodrome vide a Gazette Notice No.1161 of 8th March, 1961, commonly referred to as Aerodromes (Control of Obstruction) Ordinance, Annex 1. The Gazette Notice described Malindi Aerodrome as an unsurveyed area measuring approximately 231 acres. Hon. Speaker, in order to secure the airport land, the Government of Kenya vide a Grant Number CR. 30280 at Annex 3, granted the Authority a 99-year lease with effect from 1st February, 1997 through the Government Land Act Cap. 280. The land measures approximately 100.6 hectares as delineated on the Survey Plan No.211701 of 2nd May, 1997, which we have annexed as Annex 4 to the Authority. This conferred a Land Reference (LR) Number of 10688 to Malindi International Airport. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the proposal of the Masterplan for Malindi Airport at Annex 2, undertaken by an airport consultant, Ms Sofreavia, the Authority in 2017 initiated land acquisition process, Phase One, for expansion of the airport through the National Land Commission (NLC) through a Gazette Notice No.3390 of 2017. The acquisition process was undertaken to completion, valuation done by NLC and the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) issued with awards in respect of improvements on the land and disturbance allowance to fully compensate them for that purpose. The PAPs were compensated excluding the value of the land. The compensation amount was assessed at Kshs424,205,901 with a total of 155 PAPs. Hon. Speaker, some of the PAPs filed an adverse possession suit before the Environment and Land Court claiming to be declared the rightful owners of the affected person. The cases were however dismissed. The PAPs and other claimants then moved to the Land Acquisition Tribunal through various appeals. On 8th February, 2024, the tribunal issued a consent order directing the NLC and Kenya Airport Authority (KAA) to re-gazette the intention to acquire, conduct joint inspection to determine land ownership and issue awards to the PAPs. Pursuant to this court order, the Commission re-gazetted intention to compulsorily acquire land for expansion of Malindi International Airport and enquiries into the claim through Gazette Notice Corregendum No.2584 of 13th February, 2025. Hon. Speaker, the enquiries into the claims were conducted over a period of three days between 25th March, 2025 and 27th March, 2025 at the DCC's office in Malindi. A total of 15 land parcels with a combined acreage of 19.8936 hectares were listed in the Gazette Notice. Pursuant to the enquiries by the NLC, other issues were raised by the claimant on adverse possession occupant in good faith and historical land injustices. These matters The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "are currently under review by the NLC. The Authority is further undertaking design and land requirement assessment for Malindi Phase II expansion project to allow a runway expansion from 1.4 kilometres to 2.4 kilometres. This followed the setting aside of injunction imposed on Phase II acquisition project vide a ruling delivered by the Tribunal on 10th February, 2025. The land acquisition process and resettlement action for Phase II will be subject to budget availability. As I conclude, I confirm that I have in the last two months visited this airport to address some of these challenges. I met the leadership of Malindi International Airport on the ground. We are paying attention to this airport. Albeit the challenges we have faced in the expansion of Malindi International Airport, to the extent of suggestions as to whether we could go to Vipingo SEZ, the tourism industry in this area and the need to sustain the investments which are wasting away in the hotel industry because of a lack of a good airport to be able to bring in big planes through expansion of this airport, so that we can bring in big equipment with the tourists that favour this destination. This is something that the Government is paying a lot of attention to. I confirm that this is a top priority amongst the airports that we are paying attention to. This will ensure that we grow our economy and bring in more tourists into this economy. In order to support the hotel industry that is invested by majorly the nationals of Italy, I have met the ambassador lately in my office and we are looking for quick ways of correcting and expanding this airport to 2.4 kilometers. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."

"content": " Bw. Waziri, uwanja huu wa ndege wa Malindi ni wa zamani sana. Ulikuwapo zamani kabla Kisumu Airport haijajengwa. Natumai hata wewe umejionea wakati unatembea Malindi kwa likizo ama mapumziko. Kitu cha kushangaza ni kwamba mpaka saa hivi, hata kama kiwanja kina itwa Malindi International Aiport, kiwanja kile hakiko katika kiwango cha uwanja wa ndege wa kimataifa. Haya yote yametokana kwa kuwa wizara yako aidha imesusia, imekataa ama haifanyi juhudi zozote kuona ya kwamba wale waekezaji kama akina Flavio Briatore ambao walikuwa tayari kupanua kiwanja hicho katika mikadirio ya wizara yako na wale walioko tayari kutoka Italy. Nataka kujua ni kwa sababu gani Wizara yako, kufikia hivi sasa imewakataa hawa wawekezaji kupanua hiki kiwanja. Vile vile, nataka kukueleza ya kwamba hata ikiwa ni wakati wowote kuanzia hivi sasa, kunahitajika kupanuliwa kiwanja cha Malindi, wapo wawekezaji ambao wamejitolea. Wako tayari kutengeneza hicho kiwanja; mmoja wao ni yule ambaye nimekueleza hivi sasa. Wako tayari kukitengeneza kiwanja hicho kiwe kiwango cha kimataifa. Je, unaweza kueleza ya kwamba hawa wawekezaji wameweza kufanya mikakati ama ushirikiano gani na Serikali ama wizara yako ili kuona ya kwamba kiwanja hiki kimeweza kupanunuliwa kikawa katika status ya Moi International Airport ama Kisumu International Airport?
