    "content": " Now I can respond to the statement. Hon. Mark Mwenje requested a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the status of a 2024/25 work plan for the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). Hon. Mwenje sought to, among other things: 1. Established measures being undertaken by the Government to ensure the work plan tendered for the financial year 2024/25 is not suspended due to a lack of funds; 2. Measures being taken to ensure that the delay does not occasion pending bills and other charges that may result from breach of tender agreements; and, 3. Actions being undertaken to implement or are being implemented by KeRRA and KURA to ensure that roads under their jurisdiction, which are due for maintenance, are not affected by the delay in disbursement of funds. I have the response from the Ministry dated 14th May 2025. This response has been overtaken by the events of last week, where we got a court ruling directing what the Ministry should do or the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) should do regarding the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) 22 and 10 per cent allocations. I want to request that Hon. Mwenje allows me to give a more current statement, possibly next week."
