    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move- THAT, clause 38(6) be amended in- (a) paragraph (b) by inserting the words “allocated to the Kenya Sugar Research and Training Institute” immediately after the words “research and training”; and (b) paragraph (d) by deleting the words “and shall be managed by Kenya Rural Road Authority of the catchment area” appearing immediately after the words “development and maintenance” and substituting therefore the words “of county roads and shall be allocated to county governments as a conditional grant on a pro rata basis”. Mr. Chairman, Sir, the rationale behind this was that the sugar growing zone cuts across counties. There are roads that run inter-county. Therefore, if it will be put on pro rata basis and managed by the Rural Roads Authority, may be a disadvantage to some counties. Again, during the public participation, the issue of levies being raised, and roads not being maintained was raised by various observant. Therefore, it is important that that is operationalised by ensuring that it is managed differently in a way that those who pay the levies also get their roads maintained properly.
