Kenya’s Court of Appeal issued a ruling on November 14 affirming that the National Assembly retains constitutional authority over the Road Maintenance Levy Fund. The decision reversed a previous High Court judgment that had permitted counties to allocate the fund. The appellate judges emphasized that the legislation grants Parliament exclusive oversight of the levy. The ruling reasserts the central government’s role in directing road‑funding policies. It also clarifies the limits of county powers regarding the levy. The outcome may influence financing of infrastructure projects throughout the country.
