Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 34706, member: 636"] President Ruto believes the national government should control road money. He talked about this at church on Easter Sunday in Narok County. The president thinks central management would make road projects work better across Kenya. When counties handle these funds, they often build small dirt roads that are completed quickly. Ruto asked leaders to let his government take charge of planning these projects. Governors have fought with lawmakers about who manages the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund. This argument has gone on for months, even reaching the courts. The dispute involves around 10.5 billion shillings meant for fixing roads. County leaders claim they deserve part of this money because they built roads, too. Some governors recently showed they might drop their court case to help solve the problem. Both sides want to improve roads but disagree on how to split the cash. [/QUOTE]
