    "content": "To scale up the good work and ensure that wananchi continue to benefit from this Fund, I am this year allocating resources permitting Kshs12 billion. With this amount, each constituency will now receive on average Kshs60 million to finance its various development projects. In addition, as I said earlier, I will be proposing amendments to the Roads Maintenance Levy and the Kenya Roads Act to allow for 22 per cent of the Road Maintenance Fund to be used for the maintenance of the Constituency Roads. I have also proposed appropriate amendments to allow this amount totalling to Kshs4.7 billion to be channelled directly to constituencies through the Constituencies Fund Board. With these amendments, I will have significantly increased resources channelled through the CDF for development and road maintenance from Kshs10 billion in the year 2008/2009 to approximately Kshs18 billion or an average of Kshs86 million per constituency, representing an 80 per cent increase over the year ending June 2009. I expect this bold and historic measures to go a long way to measurably to improve the conditions of our rural roads, promote commerce and consequently, improve the welfare of our people."
