Roads levy
Meanwhile, according to a statement released by KRA on Thursday, July 17, 2025, the State Department for Roads Ministry has recently seen a shake following the dispute over the control of Ksh10.5 billion from the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund.
The levy fund, which has deepened tensions between the National Assembly and county governments after the Court of Appeal froze the funds, has left counties uncertain about critical road maintenance budgets.
Well to note is that the road maintenance levy fund is an essential source of funding for road maintenance and development across the nation. Additionally, the fund, which was established by an act of parliament in 1993, has been mandated to ensure that the conditions of roads across the country are in good condition.
Recently, the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) announced that it has released Ksh3.68 billion from the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) to counties for the 2024/2025 financial year.
The board stated that the Ksh3,682,774,150 released is intended for the maintenance of county roads.
“In the FY 2024/2025, the Board released Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) amounting to Ksh3,682,774,150 for maintenance of county roads,” KRB stated.
