"content": "I also want to add that in this Bill, we have removed the allocations under the Road Maintenance Fuel Fund (RMLF). I want to inform the Members that it is not here. What is holding us is a court case which we have agreed with the Council of Governors (CoG) that we are going to initiate conversations towards ensuring that this case is removed from court and the funds revert to the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). In a nutshell, I would like to urge the Members that this Bill is important because some of the programmes that I have highlighted are the ones benefiting people at the grassroots. Therefore, we should not be seen as the House that is really trying to stop our people from enjoying resources, some of which are borrowed. The Ksh2 billion in this Bill are proceeds from loans and grants. These are resources that will not come from our exchequer. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to urge Members to support this Bill and allow it to progress so that our counties can function. I would like to call upon the Leader of the Minority Party to second."
