    "content": "Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), it is recognised in the County Governments Act. It decides on many things including the Division of Revenue Bill. It was agreed in principle that Class D roads become a function of the county governments. We need to clarify that this is their road and it is the only place they can spend money on. I am sure those of us who were in the 11th Parliament remember the Governor of Machakos County purported to build a road which was not under his jurisdiction. He explained that he built it at a quarter of the price of the national Government. I had the opportunity to go and see that road. When I came back and asked the then Cabinet Secretary (CS), Kamau, what was going on, that road did not even last for two or three months. Now, this Bill gives percentage of allocation to KeRRA, KURA under the new name and county governments 16 per cent. Am I right? It is 16 per cent. The Senate and all of us who are leaders have the opportunity to put to task our governors and ask them: “This Road D is impassable because you have failed.” It is good to tell the country. There was a mix-up of who is supposed to do what and what before. This Bill has now clarified it. They can only use the money they are given on Class D roads. I confirm that Hon. Kajwang’ dropped his amendment but he needs to withdraw. Is it withdrawn? Yes, confirm that."
