    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the reduction of the projected funding ceilings for the KeRRA for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 Financial Years. In a circular dated 16th August 2023, KeRRA directed all regional directors of the Authority to implement a reduction of the constituency roads allocation from 22 per cent to 15 per cent and the critical roads allocation from 10 per cent to 6.8 per cent. Subsequently, the Constituency Roads Committee (CRC) were and have been requested to forward revised work plans for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 Financial Years in line with this directive. These reductions will greatly affect the maintenance works undertaken by or in the constituencies. Hon. Speaker, the Kenya Roads Board Act, 1999 requires the National Assembly to approve all proposed programmes under the Road Maintenance Levy Fund. Notably, the proposed programmes did not receive the approval of the National Assembly. Against this background, I request a comprehensive report from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. This is signed by Anthony Tom Oluoch, Member of Parliament, Mathare. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
