    "content": "The KeRRA’s allocation of 22 percent and 10 percent goes towards the maintenance of critical roads in our constituencies as Members have stated. My Committee has vowed to resist any attempt to reduce that allocation. I have seen a letter where the CRA is inviting stakeholders to a meeting next month to discuss the allocation of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund without any regard to the Act that establishes the Kenya Roads Board (KRB). I have looked at Article 216 of the Constitution which establishes the CRA. One of its mandates in Article 216(5) is to submit its recommendations to the Senate, the National Assembly and other entities. I do not have to mention them all. It is not mandated to share revenue but to make recommendations to the Senate and the National Assembly. Instead of making recommendations, they are taking a back door route to try and amend the Constitution by sharing revenue, which is a preserve of this House. Changing the Constitution and making laws is a preserve of this House. Any attempts to divert resources that are meant for our constituencies will be resisted in all possible ways."
