I am quoting the first phase because there are still some more works to come up in the future; the ... view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, we visited the airport with the two hon. Members from Kisumu Town, East and West and my colleague, Prof. Anyang’- Nyong’o and the Mayor. We were all very happy with the progress! It is important that we understand two things. The question was that we are doing the aprons with asphalt. The aprons are being done using concrete and between concrete and asphalt, the difference is as clear as day and night. So, I would like to appeal to Mr. Ochieng, view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the airport has three components: There is the airstrip which has both concrete and asphalt.

• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to request that the hon. Member appreciates, like I said, the airport is still under construction. You may walk one day and find they have put the base. The next day when they do the finishes, it is different.

• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. This Question appeared sometime back and following your ruling, my Assistant Minister and the technical team from my Ministry visited Kambirwa Airstrip on 10th November, 2010. It was established that, indeed, the airstrip exists and that some works were undertaken at the airstrip in the 2004/2005 Financial Year in an attempt to gravel the airstrip by the them Ministry of Roads and Public Works at an estimated cost of Kshs555,000.

• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the airstrip has been in the existence for the last 47 years. Indeed, it was used before Independence as a security airstrip. That was the time when the distance from Murang’a to Nairobi used to take four hours because of the condition of the road.

In those days, it was actually being used for purposes of air freighting the Mau Mau Fighters from the ... view
