    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) My Ministry has set aside a proportion of 22.8 per cent of the total budget towards the maintenance of roads in the Financial Year 2010/2011; this translates to Kshs20.648 billion. I, however, want to mention that this money is not sufficient to maintain our roads in the country compared to the pressing needs for both maintenance and development of roads countrywide. (b) My Ministry has put in place a number of measures to ensure that there is regular maintenance of roads in the country. These measures include: (i) The establishment of the Kenya Roads Board (KRB), whose main function is to administer the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF), which is used for maintenance of roads; (ii) The creation of roads agencies, that is the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) that will ensure close supervision during maintenance and development of roads in their jurisdictions; This will promote efficiency and transparency in the delivery of road works programmes; (iii) The Government has over the last four years, increased funding to the Ministry for development from Kshs19.8 billion in the Financial Year 2006/2007 to Kshs37.55 billion this financial Year 2010/2011 to address the backlog. The bulk of these funds are spent on rehabilitation works, thereby ensuring that most of the Kenya Roads Boardâs funds are set aside for maintenance works; (iv) My Ministry, through the KRB, has undertaken a roads inventory and condition survey in order to establish the total road network and its condition. This will provide planning data for road authorities to prepare realistic work plans based on actual roads conditions. It will also provide baseline data to help in monitoring the effectiveness of road maintenance programmes as well as those undertaken by roads authorities; (v) Lastly, we have also placed qualified staff on the ground to ensure that the works are done as per the laid down specifications."
