• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to respond as follows. In Part 1, the maintenance of public roads is funded by the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF), commonly known as the Fuel Levy. The allocation of funds collected from this Levy is implemented in accordance with legislation that is enacted by this august House. In particular, the Kenya Roads Act, 1999, Section 6(2)(d) and (e) stipulates percentage allocation out of the funds as follows: 22 per cent is allocated equally to all constituencies in the country to be administered by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). Ten per cent of ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly. Notably, appropriations under the development vote are project-specific. Once Parliament approves, the Ministry stands guided and instructed to implement the same. The initial budget allocation proposal for the development vote is generated by agencies of the Ministry, taking into account the following parameters: top priority is given to the completion of on-going projects, which is a requirement under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012; availability of physical space for new projects; government policies and strategic directions concerning infrastructure development, taken together with technical and economic feasibility and equity and regional balance. I wish ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: than the money allocated to KeRRA under the Road Maintenance Levy through the (RMLF). If the distribution of those resources to various agencies as budgeted is unfair, then neither KeRRA nor the Ministry will be blamed because we are constitutionally bound to implement the decisions of this House without injecting a scintilla of doubt. The third indicator of the advertised projects is where we have emergency cases, like the situation with El Nino . The Ministry allocated resources from the emergency fund or other sources to address those emergencies. The emergencies arise as works are tendered by any road agency ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: this sacred duty of distributing the public resources to turn around the whole world, either feign ignorance on the public or… view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The reason I have to go this length to answer in detail is that there is a misconstrued position in public that certain constituencies, certain counties or certain communities are getting projects more than the others. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: I have over-emphasized that should there be an unfair distribution of those resources, the problem squarely lies in the House that allocates the resources. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: I will be willing to be educated where else budget takes place in the Republic of Kenya. The only supreme august House in the Republic of Kenya which allocates resources and … view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, for the assurance of the House, I will be tabling an itemised budget by this House passed in this financial year, clear with indication of the money for every road, county and constituency so that it becomes clear that there is no other entity in this country or in the world that budgets for roads for our country except this august House. It is, therefore, unfortunate that these projects were misconstrued as an introduction of new projects. I am just giving a summary, as you guided, Hon. Speaker. For the avoidance of doubt, the replacement of non-performing contractors, ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in National Assembly: to extensive review before eventually being enacted by Parliament on one project per line basis. I submit for consideration of this august House that there are no unexplained discrepancies in allocation of project funds. There are no counties that have been omitted. Concerning the published KeRRA Notice of 29 September 2023, where a batch of ready tenders were submitted for procurement, it seems that subsequent publication of ready tenders will address the remainder of the projects that are captured in the budget approved by Parliament. Indeed, there was the risk that future publication batches of tenders that are not part ... view
