    "content": " The supplementary question with respect to the works that have been advertised and on account of projected revenues were not met because of the shortfall on the 22 per cent RMLF collection, which comes through the fuel collection. Hon. Members, I met the Committee on Roads and Transport last week and this question was alive. What we have done is to compute the savings on the actual contracts achieved vis-a-vis the budget that was allocated to every road. My team which is here with me is computing the savings to be able to address the shortfall and, therefore, mitigate the challenge that the Members face over projects that have been advertised. The KeRRA Board met yesterday and approved additional amounts due to the shortfall, which will be disbursed shortly. That will address the shortfall challenges that arise when budgeting is not properly done. We will need to look at the estimates of what we should be able to collect on the RMLF due to the volume of petroleum that the country will consume, and ensure that we do not run into this challenge. With regard to the shortfall or whether the RMLF amount is reducing, in the subsequent responses, you will see the RMLF progressively growing from the Financial Year 2019/2020 to Financial Year 2022/2023."
