Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not possible that any county incurred money under the Road Maintenance Levy beyond a given financial year. Road Maintenance Levy is only capped for that financial year. So, for the year that the county was given, that is the year they spent. The problem is that because it is not for construction, it is for maintenance. Maintenance is based on annual allocation. So, it is not possible that there is a county that did the same. It would only have been possible if it was development money.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the maintenance, I had addressed that issue on the sugar cane growing areas, a very important sector.

When we come up with that policy that I said earlier of increasing the allocation - can you imagine that only the Kshs60 billion is meant for all the roads KeNHA, KURA, KeRA - we will then be able to upscale our activities in terms of maintenance of the roads. Meanwhile, what is available now, we are using them, but also because the county collects cess from the sugar factories and farmers, it is important to put them under pressure to make sure that the other roads are maintained within the county. Sen. Eddy is passionate about this issue and ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is true what Sen. Lemaletian is saying. She spoke to me about this road. It is also true that even before the funeral, we met somewhere and she spoke to me about the same road. It is also true that she spoke to the President. It is not true that she has to be in Government for her to represent the people of Samburu County or Kenya. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the position I hold is apolitical and the responsibility of the state and Government is to serve all Kenyans regardless of their political ...
