    "content": "(i) National Government, Kshs1.53 trillion. (ii) The county government equitable share is Kshs316.50 billion. It is worth noting that that is the same figure for this current financial year 2019/2020. (iii) The Government of Kenya conditional allocation amounts to a total of Kshs13.73 billion. (iv) The roads maintenance fuel levy fund is Kshs9.43 billion. It is important for Hon. Members to note that this figure of Kshs9.43 billion, if you divide that by the number of counties, it is almost a total of about Kshs200 million per county going towards the maintenance of roads. I am sure the 22 per cent and 10 per cent that Members of Parliament get through Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) do not amount to anything more than Kshs30 million per constituency. Therefore, there is still a lot of resources going towards the maintenance of roads in our counties. It is important that we consult with the Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and the other House to ensure that there is proper oversight as to how those funds are utilised. We must ensure there is no duplication of projects between what we are doing under KeRRA and what is being done under this road maintenance Fuel Levy Fund under the county governments."
