30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, my understanding is that the delay is caused by documentation that relates to the Kenya Revenue Authority. The second thing that I would like to explain to the Member is that the new Constitution has provisions for consumer rights which would include the services that are offered either by individuals or even by the Government department. Therefore, I would expect that KRA would be able to adhere to the rights that importers are entitled to and this problem will come to an end.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would not be in a position to consider that because currently we are renovating the airport. The space is not enough, we cannot allow more cargo. But after the renovation of the airport, then maybe, that will be considered in future.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the main concern of the American people was the total insecurity in the country. They were also concerned about the take-off operations due to the slums which are at the end of the airport. The Kenya Airports Authority is trying to find a way of removing the people, compensate and relocate them.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want to emphasize that the current problem with the flights to the USA has nothing to do with Wilson Airport. The problem is the flights from the USA into Kenya and back to the USA. It is not a matter of encroachment.

18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would want to inform the hon. Member that every time there is anything going on in Kenya, the American Government issues a travel ban. Those travel bans do not necessarily relate to security. It is their own perception. This particular issue of flights from America into Kenya, and from Kenya to America is based purely on their security concerns.
