Plans to transform Bungoma's Matulo Airstrip into a fully operational airport have gathered momentum, with county and national government officials accelerating efforts to commercialise flights at the facility.
Governor Kenneth Lusaka has intensified consultations with residents affected by the expansion project as negotiations continue over compensation and acquisition of an additional 30 acres needed for runway expansion.
The long-awaited project, being implemented through a partnership between the County Government of Bungoma and the national government, is increasingly being viewed as one of the most transformative infrastructure investments in the county's history.
