    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on the issue of KeRRA, it is true what Hon. Junet has said; that nobody can amend existing laws other than this House. Even on the Statute that established the Road Maintenance Levy Fund that funds the 22 per cent and 10 per cent kitty in KeRRA, it is only this House. The communication I did in a Statement I tabled before the House from the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure ascertained that fact. Until and unless this House changes the law, the funds remain as they are. Since the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure, Hon. George Kariuki, had indicated that they had interacted with the agencies and will be tabling a report, I beg that we allow him to table it when it is ready. We can have time to deliberate on a report already tabled once we benefit from what the agencies have said. To re-emphasise, we need to ensure that the status quo remains until or unless we amend the law. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
