Class D Roads meant to collect traffic from lower class roads and channel it to the higher class roads. They are required to provide lower level of services than arterial roads at lower permissible speed over shorter distances with limited access control. Meant to collect traffic from lower roads and connect it with Class C roads. We are taking road class D to counties. That is what happens in that discussion. This was informed by a lot of discussions and negotiations between the county governments and the national Government. It was agreed at that level. In that agreement, we are ...

“(1) The Board may withhold funds of any road agency or county government that fails to comply with the public road standards prescribed by the Cabinet Secretary.” I want to be on record. Basically we are adding money to counties from 15 per cent which was in the original Bill to 16 per cent.

We are also adding one per cent to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the Ministry of Roads for emergencies and to the President to enable him implement ...

Hon. Chairman, it is in the Bill and I have done it. I said we will have additional one per cent going to the counties to become 16 per cent and another one per cent to the Cabinet Secretary. It is in the Bill and it used to be in the Bill. It is only those three and I have removed the money from what used to be KeRRA. It is here and it is very clear.

So, let it go on record. Clause 29(2)(a) states that a person shall be qualified for appointment as Director-General if that person holds a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, a Master’s degree from a University recognised in Kenya and is registered by the Engineers Board of Kenya. I opt to protect the Leader of the Majority Party by facts so that Members can make decisions on the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I ask my good friend, Hon. Musimba, to drop this amendment. I talked to him almost for the whole of last week. I want him to do it in good faith. He is a very good friend of mine. I play one of the best games in the world with him and I respect him there. That is not an important game. We play a game called golf, which is played by gentlemen and that is why I request him as a gentleman to drop this amendment. The Bill before us is on public roads. He ...
