    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Bill because, currently, we are operating under The Roads Act, 2007. In fact, the Constitution requires that we disaggregate the county and national roads. That is contained in the Bill. As alluded to by my colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., the issue before us is how much of the fuel maintenance levy should go to the counties and other authorities. Whenever we are confronted we say: “We have no law, let the law be in place.” We will reach that point and there will be no law, because we are about to go on recess and come back in February. This Bill is very important because it seeks to unbundle the roads sector, so that we can have county and national roads separated, and given their due importance. Therefore, we are getting late on this one."
