Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 8 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (2) and substituting therefor the following— (2) The Cabinet Secretary shall at least once in ten years publish the inventory in sub-section (1) in the Kenya Gazette . The Bill leaves publication of the roads inventory to the discretion of the CS. The CS could decide not to publish the inventory or take a lot of time before publishing it. So, a timeline needs to be given.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, roads normally take a lot of time to construct. Ten years is a very short period in the lives of the roads. So an interval of about ten years is reasonable. An interval of five years might be just the same as the one we had the other time. So, that is the reason we have ten years. The idea is that the CS must publish the inventory. So, we thought ten years was the most reasonable time; five years will be very short.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting paragraph (g) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph− “(g) overseeing the management of traffic and road safety on primary national trunk roads, in collaboration with other agencies”;

We are trying to remove the aspect of road safety because management of road is the role of the National Transport Safety Authority (NTSA). We are deleting paragraph (g) and substituting it with the following: “overseeing the management of traffic and road safety on primary national roads in collaboration with other agencies.”

Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to further move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause 1 by deleting phrase (h) and (j) appearing immediately after the phrases “Classes S, A and B.” The justification is that the management, development, rehabilitation and maintenance of the primary national trunk road class H and J have been assigned to the Kenya Urban Roads Authority. We are removing it from KeNHA. I thank you.

First of all, we are establishing the Board of the Authority. It ought to be established by law before it is composed. We will start with composition, but we are putting the establishment of the Board first. We are also renumbering because there is no Clause 11(1)(g) in the draft, so we are deleting that one. This is just to correct a typo. Under Clause 11 the existing sub-clause 1 will now be sub-clause 2, but it will come after New Clause 1 which provides for the establishment of the Board of the Kenya National Highways Authority. We are also ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, with due respect to my brother T.J. Kajwang, I do not think I will be able to propose that amendment at this stage. One, each of the Authorities has got a Director-General. However, I do not know whether they have Corporate Secretaries in their establishments. So, I will not float an idea on something I am not familiar with. For now we will proceed without me proposing that amendment. It is with all due respect to him.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be amended − (a) in sub-clause (2) by deleting paragraph (f) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph− “(f) overseeing the management of road usage on secondary roads in collaboration with other agencies”; and (b) in the marginal notes by deleting the word “Kenya” appearing twice. This is a new Authority. The initial one was the Kenya Urban Authority now we have the Rural Authority. So, this one is similar to the other one we had. We are just trying to clarify that together with the ...
