    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Funds from the Development Budget have been utilized mainly for rehabilitation and re-construction of the key road transport corridors, which had largely collapsed due to lack of maintenance. A portion of the funds have also been utilized to provide counterpart funding for donor funded programmes such as the Roads 2000 Programme as well as undertake urgent maintenance of important road links. The Ministry of Roads has now developed the Roads Sector Investment Programme in consultation with stakeholders that outlines the Ministry’s key priorities over the next five years. It is a programme of 15 years and we are undertaking it in blocks of five years. (b) First, I wish to clarify that there is no 10 per cent portion of allocation on development funds. What we have under the Kenya Roads Board Act is 10 per cent on the Road Maintenance Levy Fund administered by KERRA and allocated equally to all constituencies. A portion of 10 per cent administered by KRB is also within the Act to mind emergencies. I wish to table a list showing how the allocation of 10 per cent of the Road Maintenance Levy administered by the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) was spent by both the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) and the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) in the last three financial years."
