We should easily support this Bill by the Leader of the Majority Party. In fact, we discussed it in the legislative caucus in the morning. I signify my support to it. As I support it, allow me to say that this is the kind of thinking that needs to guide the Equalisation Fund. Unlike what we have in this Bill, Equalisation Fund money is just sent in bulk to counties. If I have been given Ksh10 million, why can we not be allowed to match it with my Ksh10 million from REREC, so that I provide electrification in my constituency instead of this money being sent to counties to determine how to use it? I support this Bill and I urge fellow Members also to support it. I thank you, Hon.

The longer someone stays in office, especially in a sensitive docket like this one, the more it entrenches corruption and cartelism. If you sit in office for 10 years, you will have been in contact with so many contractors and suppliers. I support that we reduce the number of years to six years so that there will be efficiency, energy and zeal to serve. Once someone overstays, the energy and zeal to serve goes because of fatigue and many other things. As I finish, roads are related to marginalisation. Some of us come from areas which have been marginalised. On the Equalisation Fund, allow me to digress a bit, we need to revisit the formula by the CRA."},{"id":1586876,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1586876/?format=json","text_counter":1283,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

(Dr) Robert Pukose","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the Kenya Roads (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.16 of 2025). The amendments by the Leader of the Majority Party are good because they align with the Mwongozo Code of Governance to ensure that the terms of service for CEOs are equal. It was discriminatory to other corporations for the Directors-General of the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) to serve for five years while other CEOs serve for only three years I remember that this law was passed mischievously during the last Session of the 12th Parliament when most of us had gone for campaigns. It was not done in good faith, but to protect certain individuals and keep them in office. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."},{"id":1586880,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1586880/?format=json","text_counter":1287,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Samuel Atandi","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill, which is before us. Like most Members have already pointed out, the law went against the Mwongozo Code of Governance, also tied to that amendment was the fact that the Act was changed to allow for non-engineers to be the Director-General of the Kenya Roads Board. That also needs to be looked at. I urge the Leader of the Majority Party to listen because we cannot have a Director-General of the KRB who is not an engineer, yet the people he is working with are engineers. That was also one of the mischievous amendments which were passed through this House. The Leader of the Majority Party should consider ensuring that the Director-General of the KRB is an engineer."}]}
