Senior Advisor in the Presidential Council of Economic Advisors, Moses Kuria, has advised the government to disband Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) and Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) as the tension surrounding the road maintenance levy escalates.
There has been a heated debate in the allocation and management of the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF), which is collected through the fuel levies.
While the national government argues for centralised control to ensure efficiency, county governments and leaders like former Prime Minister Raila Odinga see this as a move that undermines devolution and local governance.
Speaking in Narok County, President Ruto had urged the governors to allow him to control the funds and use them to construct more roads.
