    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Report by the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. We come from constituencies and day-in-day-out we engage with our electorates. Bad roads are a common challenge in all constituencies. The proposal to reduce KeRRA allocation is wrong. The KeRRA has done tremendous work. We need to see the audit reports undertaken by the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) on KeRRA compared to the other agencies and roads done by county governments. Reducing the allocation ceilings for KeRRA in the quest to increase the allocations going to county governments is defeating. In any case, the functions and the goals are not competitive because all these are geared towards serving the common mwananchi . County governments are privileged in terms of their allocation. Every county government has acquired enough equipment. However, they are still facing many challenges in terms of policy implantation and management of the same assets. Most of this equipment is abused or misused. The output of these counties cannot be compared to what KeRRA has done. This is a calling to all agencies to uphold competency in their work. 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."
