    "content": "Article 94(5) of the Constitution stipulates clearly as to who is supposed to legislate. Article 95 in terms of sharing revenue is well stipulated that it is only this House that can do that. Therefore, the issue of the KeRRA roads,as all Members may attest to this, forms the bulk of our roads and are such very important especially from Kinangop Constituency that I represent, which is the food basket for this great city. All we are asking is not a reduction of percentages, but an increment of the same. This House is within its power to do that; that KeRRA money should not be 22 per cent and the 10 per cent but should go up to 50 per cent because the bulk of the roads are KeRRA roads. I take this opportunity to support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. I call upon this House to be vigilant because there is every attempt by the Executive to usurp powers that they do not have - power that has been allocated to this great House, the Parliament of Kenya. With those remarks, I support the Report. 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."
