A Senate committee is proposing a significant shift in how fuel levy funds are distributed, advocating for county governments to receive a much larger share than the Ministry of Roads and Transport. This comes as Parliament works on the proposed Roads Act (Amendment) Bill, 2025.

• The Senate committee proposes counties receive 49% of the fuel levy, while the Ministry of Roads and Transport suggests 15%.
• Key players include the Senate Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing and the Ministry of Roads and Transport, led by Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir.
• The dispute centers on the apportionment of the fuel levy, road classification, and follows a High Court judgment recognizing counties as beneficiaries of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund.
