    "content": " Hon. Speaker, Hon. Donya has not been misled. She has opted to be particular about a region on a matter that is national. The reality is that there are no enough funds to do all roads at the same time in the country. She is aware that there are pending bills of works that have been executed in the country. The Ksh25 she is claiming also includes Ksh7 that is allocated for securitisation and paying pending bills. I am aware that it is not only in Kisii County or my constituency where roads are in a bad condition, but in many parts of the country. I am bringing this issue to the House so that Members are aware that in this financial year, Ksh24.7 million that was allocated to each constituency is withheld. This is because of a court order from the county governments case. Hon. Speaker, yesterday, you gave directions for the Cabinet Secretary to appear before this House, so that he further elucidates and all of us can understand issues concerning roads like their current condition, existing plans for their rehabilitation and maintenance. The fact is that not enough money is being collected through the Fuel Levy. A presentation was done in our Committee on how funds can be differently made available to cater for all roads. Lastly, the position is that this financial year and the next financial year, the Fuel Levy will not be given to counties. Therefore, other than money appropriated by this House and county assemblies to fund county roads, there will be no funding from the Fuel Levy. However, only roads allocated and presented to the Ministry through the KRB for funding in the annual plans will be funded. A list of those roads is available."
