The State has over the years maintained the country’s road network through the Kenya Roads Board Fund.
The law requires the KRB to allocate at least 22 per cent of RFML and road toll collections for use in the development and upkeep of roads in all the constituencies.
The 47 counties will be allocated Sh10.5 billion from the Road Maintenance Fuel Levy (RMFL) purse in the new financial year starting July for maintenance of roads within their locations, the Treasury has revealed.
The RFML is a tax collected at the oil pump and is currently set at Sh18 per litre of petrol and diesel with Sh3 set aside to an annuity fund and the balance to road maintenance, rehabilitation, and development.
