Deputy Speaker, on the projected funding ceilings for KeRRA for the Financial Year 2024/2025 and Financial Year 2025/2026, which is the crux of the matter, the Cabinet Secretary said that Section 19 of the Kenya Roads Board Act, 1999 required the Board to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
