    "content": "the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) was allocated additional funds under the 22 per cent and 10 per cent Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) during the Financial Year 2023/2024. The 22 per cent Fund was intended for sport improvement projects and maintenance of critical rural roads, while the 10 per cent Fund was to be focused on smaller-scale maintenance and upgrading works across different regions of Kenya. However, despite those allocations, the Funds are yet to be disbursed to KeRRA. The delay, therefore, poses significant challenges and, particularly, for rural roads projects that are managed by KeRRA and the overall service delivery in Nairobi. This has the potential of stalling road projects, leading to loss of jobs and disrupting economic activities. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure on the following: 1. Provision of a comprehensive report on the amount disbursed to KeRRA for the Financial Year 2023/2024 as at September 2024 for Nairobi City County and the measures being taken to address the inordinate delay. 2. Reasons for the delay in full disbursement of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund during the Financial Year 2023/2024 for Nairobi City County to the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
