    "content": " Thank you for your indulgence, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Our governors must tread carefully. We have shared resources with them through the Division of Revenue Bill. However, they are still going after constituencies’ monies under the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). You cannot have resources being devolved to you directly, to cater for roads, and then you go after the money that is left at the centre which is supposed to maintain national Government roads, apparently because it is Members of Parliament who are managing that money. Members of Parliament do not manage KeRRA money! That money is managed by regional engineers at the regional headquarters of KeRRA. Let us not pretend that it is those people you see going to court, but it is the Council of Governors who sponsor all those cases in court. Therefore, I want to tell them to remember what happened in the year 2021/2022. In one financial year, we increased the shareable revenue by close to Ksh50 billion on the promise and understanding that they would have adequate resources to maintain county government managed and classified roads at the county level. It is foolhardy that two years later, governors have retreated and taken us back. They are now telling us that they want a piece of the pie from the share of national Government resources The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
