"content": "It is sad that our governors and the CoG are now reneging on that very good gentleman's agreement and pitting ourselves against them. At the time we increased money that goes to constituencies from Fuel Levy by over Ksh50 billion shillings of shareable revenue, it was on the understanding that most of that money would go towards rehabilitation and maintenance of roads at the county level."

"content": "Today, I do not know whether I will speak for Kiambu County or it is indeed the case in all our counties. County roads are not being done at all. Members of the public have become accustomed that they can only go to their Women Representatives or their Members of Parliament to get a road fixed. I mean even roads that are not under the purview of Members of Parliament or Constituency Roads Committees."

"content": "I know the CoG has a new leadership now. I take this opportunity to beseech the CoG to drop the cases in court. Those cases are not helping them. They are not helping the country. They are simply holding services and the maintenance and rehabilitation of roads around the country at ransom because governors want more money. This insatiable thirst for resources should come with service delivery."

"content": "My problem with many of our governors is that the resources that go to counties are not commensurate with the services being given to the people around the country. It is not lost on us that the CoG had a huge role to play even in the courts, even on the NG-CDF matters. We know the sponsors of the people who are in courts on the NG-CDF matter. You can even see the nexus between the advocates that represent the parties in court on the NG-CDF matter and those that represent the CoG in other matters. This is not how to expend public resources for institutions of the same Government and the same country taking each other to court."

"content": "I really plead with governors. The Mediation Committee of the National Assembly went into this mediation process with clean hands and mediated in good faith. It even ceded resources that the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee can tell you are not there. We are only hoping that we will get a bit more resources to cater for this with the anticipated passage of the tax and business laws. In that give and take, could we plead with our CoG to please cease the litigation matters in court, especially around the Fuel Levy money that goes to the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). These national agencies maintain roads around the country. For instance, I have for the last two weeks seen Citizen TV being very keen on highlighting how dilapidated roads are in Nairobi County. I saw the Governor of Nairobi saying that Jogoo Road does not belong to him. He said it belongs to the national Government, and it is a fact that it belongs to the national Government. That is why, out of the money coming from the Fuel Levy Fund, you will see KURA has advertised Jogoo Road for rehabilitation."

"content": "The other Sunday the President was in a church in Soweto, Embakasi East Constituency that Hon. Babu Owino represents. When the President set foot in that church all that the church leaders and residents of Soweto could tell him was about the state of the road that is very dilapidated. That road was done three years ago under the Kenya Informal Settlements Programme funded by the World Bank. It is now so dilapidated that you have to wade through pools of water even to get to that church in Soweto. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the church has become very famous for other reasons but I can also confirm; that money has not found its way back to the President. I also have a long list of other churches waiting for that money to get back to the President so that it can be donated to them."
