Finally, the Committee observed that county governments continue to receive allocation of the fuel levy despite having no clear framework in place to support the allocation. It was noted with concern that the Kenya Roads Bill, 2017 had not been approved by the House by the time we were writing this Report, but we are now past that. I take this opportunity to commend Hon. Pkosing, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, for fast-tracking this Bill. It creates the legal framework for sharing the Kshs8.2 billion from the fuel levy. The Committee, therefore, requests ...

Further to that, over the last few years, it has been a custom or a tradition that every time we pass this Bill in this House and we send it to the Senate, we find them coming up with different figures. It is worth noting that the Inter-Governmental Budget and Economic Council held meetings where the Senate, the Commission of Revenue Allocation and the CoG were invited. They unanimously agreed on the figures that got to this House through the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) that we approved. It is also worth noting that immediately after we passed the BPS, there ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Mine is just to thank Members for their very invaluable contributions to this Bill. I am sure the Senate, those in the Council of Governors (CoG) and even our Members of County Assemblies in the counties have been listening to these contributions. They should ensure the money that goes to the county governments goes into good use for the benefit of the people. It is noteworthy the issues that are of concern to Members like issues to do with conditional grants. On the money from the fuel levy that is going to roads, MCAs ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. My thanks to our Hon. Leader of the Majority Party for the opportunity to second on behalf of my colleague Hon. Pkosing. It is in the spirit of collective responsibility as Members of the Jubilee Coalition that I second on his behalf. This Bill on Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority is very important for this country and more so for those of us who live in the metropolis area, that is, Nairobi, Kajiado, Kiambu, where I come from, Machakos and Murang'a. The establishment of this Authority as a body corporate speaks volumes about the ...

a.m. on a Wednesday morning, there must be a good public transport system. Therefore, this Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill is not just speaking to the question of urban transportation within the metropolis, but it is also creating an effective and efficient means of interconnecting our cities and small towns around the capital city. It is even allowing Kenyans to buy property and houses in outlying districts, so that we all do not cramp within the city and create slum areas.
