• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: 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 ... view
• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: 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 ... view

• 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

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
