    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware funds due to Nyando District under the 10 per cent roads maintenance levy portion of the financial year 2009/2010 as approved by the Kenya Roads Board was reduced from Kshs18 million to Kshs5.6 million. Indeed, this deduction affected the entire country and not only the district in question. The deduction was inevitable since the Budget for 2009/2010 was prepared in the preceding financial year, 2008/2009, and it had not factored in the Kenya Rural Roads Authority’s operational costs. For this reason, a total of Kshs549,000 was used to fund KERRA’s operations both at the head office and at the regions. Subsequently, a total of Kshs307 million was also used as Government’s counterpart funding for projects with our development partners. The rest, amounting to Kshs1.05 billion was disbursed in the respective regions."
