2 FOREWORD Each year, Kenya Roads Board finances the maintenance of road network through the Kenya Roads Board Fund (KRBF). The Fund is distributed among the road agencies charged with maintenance and they include: Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) and the County Governments. Pursuant to Section 19 (4) of the KRB Act, KRB is required to review, individually, the Annual Road Works Programmes (ARWPs) submitted by Road Agencies and consolidate these ARWPs into an Annual Public Roads Programme (APRP). Section 19 (5) of the Act requires the Board to submit the APRP to the Cabinet Secretary responsible for Roads, and the Cabinet Secretary responsible for Finance for their approval. The approved APRP then forms the basis of funds allocation and an instrument for auditing by the Board. A consolidated Annual Publics Road Programme 2018/2019 is provided detailing allocation of KRBF to agencies and their work plan.The Annual Public Roads Programme FY2018/19 has been prepared based on projected collections of the Kenya Roads Board Fund (KRB-F) of KShs. 68,996,000000 comprising KShs. 68,446,000,000 from the proceeds of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) and KShs. 550,000,000 from Transit Tolls. In this APRP, a total of 80,637 km have been planned for; routine maintenance on 59,490 Km, periodic maintenance on 1,476km, performance based maintenance contracts on 7,099km and spot improvement on 12,573km of roads spread across the country. To ensure that value for money is achieved, the Board will monitor the implementation through Technical Compliance, Financial and Performance audits. The Board acknowledges the immense support it has received from the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development, and the National Treasury, Road Agencies, Development Partners, County Governments and other stakeholders in the Roads Sub-Sector. The implementation of this APRP will contribute to the attainment of the Government’s Big Four Agenda and the realization of Vision 2030 goals through an improved road network. ENG.JACOB Z.

Funding Requirements for the Road Network in Kenya FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2018/2019 Length of the Road Network The Road Sector Investment Programme 1, RSIP1 (2010 – 2014), In January 2016, the length of the entire Road Network in Kenya was estimated that about KSh. 70 billion was required for the maintenance of gazetted to be 161,451.3 km. Of these, 39,995.1 kms are categorized as the entire road network annually. This did not however include the backlog EXECUTIVE SUMMARY National Trunk Roads and 121,456.4 kms as County Roads, as illustrated maintenance. Fuel levy collections increased by approximately 30% following the increase Introduction in Table 1.2 below. This information is based on the road inventory and condition survey carried out between the year 2007 and 2009. This of fuel levy rate from KShs. 12 to KShs. 18 per litre of fuel in June 2016. This Annual Public Roads Programme (APRP) presents the consolidated inventory covers roads with way-leaves greater than 9.0 m.
