An order directing the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport and the Attorney-General to reclassify all roads in Kenya within 12 months to align with the constitutionally permissible framework of National Trunk Roads and County Roads. On 19th August 2024, the Court granted conservatory orders suspending the decision of the National Assembly of 13th August 2024 not to recognise and or remove county governments as beneficiaries of the RMLF in the Financial Year 2024/2025 and the decision of the National Assembly to further remove county governments as beneficiaries of the Ksh10.5 billion conditional grants from funds derived from the RMLF in the Financial Year 2024/2025. Subsequently, the Petition was heard before the High Court on 7th April 2025 and judgment reserved for 28th April, which was yesterday. However, before the judgment could be delivered, the parties to the Petition agreed to enter into a consent to suspend the delivery of judgment to allow for an out-of-court settlement and conclusion of the legislative process in respect to the County Government's Additional Allocation Bill 2025, which this House passed last week. The matter came up before the High Court on 28th April, where the consent was adopted as an order of the court with directions that the matter be mentioned on 19th May 2025 to update the court on the progress of negotiations. For the benefit of the Women Representative for Kajiado, I have said that the day before yesterday, the honourable court adopted the consent, and the matter will be mentioned on 19th May 2025 to update the court on the progress of negotiations. I am repeating that so that it is clear to Members for them to understand where we are. As we engage the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Roads and Transport, who is lined up to appear before the House, let us be measured that we are in a process of negotiating. It is important that when we are in a process of negotiating, we are measured in the manner of things that we do and say. In light of these developments, the House Leadership has scheduled a meeting on 5th May 2025 with the Council of Governors to deliberate on the matters arising out of the court case with the aim of a settlement of the case out of court.

Kimani Ichung’wah","speaker":null,"content":"As I conclude, on behalf of the House Business Committee, allow me to wish all Members a restful period as they spend time with their families during this short working recess. I know Members can remember that this was supposed to be a long recess, which would have been about four to five weeks, but we have since cut it to three weeks to allow us to be back in time to process the Budget for the next Financial Year and also for Members to be around during the National Prayer Breakfast which is slated for 29th May, as Hon. Speaker has said in his Communication earlier—for the benefit of those who are not in the House, which is the first Thursday after we resume. Therefore, I wish all of you a good recess as we embark on this very short three-week recess. It is also a working recess. Many of our committees will be sitting to consider the Budget Estimates, some of which I have just tabled and others that will be tabled later this afternoon. With that, I now wish to lay this statement on the table of the House. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."},{"id":1561910,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1561910/?format=json","text_counter":86,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Hon.
