"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have an issue that needs your attention, but it is not related to Kibra and other fires. Last week, our constituencies received communication from Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) offices with regards to reduction of allocated funds towards our rural roads. This stems from a court case that, out of goodwill this House chose to do the necessary. We allowed the passage of revenue allocation, under the guise that governors, through the Council of Governors (CoG) would withdraw the case. Even though we did so the governors walked back on that promise. Therefore, the allocation has been reduced from Ksh42 million per constituency, under 22 per cent, to Ksh28 million. This is a travesty. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "The allocation under 10 per cent, has moved from Ksh19 million to zero, just because the governors have reneged on a promise that they made. It is a behaviour akin to not wanting anything from this House going forward. It is like the governors have confirmed that they do not need this House either way with regards to their budgetary allocation. We need your guidance on this matter. Do we have to transact on goodwill or make certain provisions that will make it very difficult for anybody to walk back on a promise. Even though our constituencies have received that reduction, most of the Members of Parliament have advised their KeRRA committees not to reallocate or reduce those budgetary allocations. So, how do we move on this matter? Remember, all these roads had been tendered for and awards given. There are usually very stringent conditions that underpin contracts. Hon. Temporary Speaker, how do we, as constituencies benefiting from these funds, move forward?"

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What Hon. Jared Okello has raised, in as far as the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) is concerned, is indeed true. He has also correctly outlined the facts that culminated to us passing what the governors wanted as part of the negotiation. This was to ensure that we unlock the stalemate that had arisen from the court order that led to the freezing of the Ksh10 billion. It is important to inform the House that the matter was thoroughly canvassed by the House Business Committee in the previous two sittings. Last week, the Rt. Hon. Speaker nominated a few Members of Parliament from this House to mediate with the Council of Governors (CoG). At this point, I wish to report that we have made positive strides. I do not know whether Hon. Jared Okello is listening to me, as this is very important. He asked a question, but I do not see him. I am not sure whether I should proceed. He is now here."
