"content": " Hon. Speaker, following the reduced fuel consumption, the actual collection from 1st July 2023 to 31st May 2024 was Ksh74.2 billion. It is projected that the Board will collect Ksh6.5 billion in the month of June 2024, bringing the total for the year to Ksh8.7 billion against a revised budget of Ksh78.7 billion. The difference of Ksh2 billion may be applied to fund the budget deficit for Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). Hon. Speaker, arising from the above analysis, this is to confirm that the 32 per cent allocation to constituencies under the Fuel Levy collection for the current financial year will be maintained at the original estimate of Ksh23,255,072,653 and will, therefore, not be affected by the reduced fuel levy collection for the Financial Year 2023/2024. I believe I have responded to the concerns of the Member for Emgwen. We will not incur any reductions. Concerning savings, no law allows KeRRA to reverse money from regional offices to the head office. All the saved money and balances are supposed to be utilized within the constituencies as has always been the case. Thank you."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Roads and Transport regarding the development of Mass Rapid Transit Corridors in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area (NMA) and the role of the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (NaMATA). NaMATA was established vide the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Order, 2017 to oversee the establishment of an integrated, efficient and sustainable public transport system within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area. The Nairobi Metropolitan Area Council gazetted the declaration of a Mass Rapid Transport System Corridor comprised of five Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) networks and seven Commuter Rail Networks. However, there appears to be disjointedness and lack of conciseness in the implementation of that infrastructure due to the involvement of multiple agencies, including NaMATA, Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and the Kenya Railway Corporation (KRC). It is imperative to recognize that for a mass rapid transit system to be sustainable, it must be integrated and further have an operational plan that will generate positive system revenues and minimize the need for exchequer support on operation expenditure. The involvement of multiple agencies also raises concern as to why NaMATA, being the agency responsible for planning and implementing devolved transport functions in the NMA, cannot oversee the entire process, as mandated in the NaMATA Order, 2017. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Roads and Transport on the following— 1. Why are multiple agencies involved in the development of Mass Rapid Transit Corridors in the NMA, and how is this impacting the coordination of the system? 2. What measures are being taken to ensure that the existing projects, that were formulated before the creation of NaMATA, are integrated with NaMATA’s mandate as the agency responsible for implementing devolved transport functions in the NMA region? 3. What steps are being taken to ensure that the mass rapid system investments in the NMA are being packaged optimally and are guided by a sustainable plan to minimize the future need for reliance on exchequer releases? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would also like to add something on Muguka. We have a big problem…"
