CS Murkomen says public has rejected the Ksh. 7 hike

A majority of Kenyans have rejected the proposals to raise more taxes through the road maintenance levy. The new tax measure being proposed by roads and transport ministry seeks to increase the levy from the current 18 shillings to 25 shillings per litre of petrol and diesel. While acknowledging the public uproar, the Ministry of Roads Cabinet Secretary hinted to withdrawing the proposal in concurrence with the public mood

Use the current levy amount being collected to repair necessary roads and when done with repairs use the next financial years money to construct major highways like mombasa road, eldoret malaba open up the country dont budget corruption we the people can do alot if we lead we have solutions that you seem to ingore

Murkomen is a failure,, how can you confront Kenyans for asking for roads.. As a leader you cannot tell people that you will not have roads because there is no levy.. Wise leaders will say, road development will delay because we don't have enough money as of now .. William Ruto should start by firing Murkomen. We are not here to compete with CSs who want to show off that they are brighter than all Kenyans.. At the end of the day we want roads not stories

[@edu-pw7hu]

Very gud pwana..😂... My comments though .. What is the actual cost of 1km or road without corruption charges. Gazette it..and let that be the most kenya government will pay ,.. Secondly why redo roads badly like the road from mlolongo to signature mall mombasa rd ,who is pocketing the money The chinses contractor abandoned the project and left risky aress like near crystal rivers.. .and the fly over. Publish which counties have benefitted from tjis roads for the last 12yrs. Then proritize what should be done in the next 5yrs.. Without fear or favour.

Last year January in juja place called sisal a contractor was given the contract to construct the drainage system because it used to flood even with a small rainfall... He dug tumtaro twingine funny funny which took him a whole year and a few months... When the previous rain started, we used to pass through people's farms because of how flooded that road was.... A whole year and a kamtaro is the only thing he could come up with, and you can imagine the amount of money allocated to that road....so now him saying our roads are bad because there is no money is the biggest joke ever.... Contracts are being allocated to relatives who known nothing about roads, and who the only thing they want is to steal the whole money and this big thief here is telling us what???
