Sirika said: “Yes, we locked down the airports. It wasn’t by choice, it was by force. Since this force majure befell us, our response was to close down the airports. “The approved road map which Mr. President approved which I discussed with this National Assembly even before getting the approval had begun to show good results.“We have moved passenger number from eight to 18 million in five years. We’ve done quite a number of things.

“It is quite challenging for us but of course since it is the act of God, we thank him and we ask him for the strength to come out of this and to once again begin the journey unto greater heights.
