    KENYA ROADS BOARD ANNUAL PUBLIC ROADS PROGRAMME FY 2011/ 2012 Kenya Roads Board (KRB) is a State Corporation established under the Kenya Roads Board Act, 1999. Its mandate is to oversee the road network in Kenya and coordinate its development, rehabilitation and maintenance funded by the KRB Fund and to advise the Minister for Roads on all matters related thereto. Our Vision An Effective road network through the best managed fund Our Mission Our mission is to fund and oversee road maintenance, rehabilitation and development through prudent sourcing and utilisation of resources KRB FUND KRB Fund comprises of the Road Maintenance Levy, Transit Toll and Agricultural cess. Fuel levy was established in 1993 by the Road Maintenance Levy Act. Fuel levy is charged at the rate of Kshs 9 per litre of petrol and diesel. The allocation as per the Kenya Roads Board Act is as follows: % Allocation Roads Funded Agency 40% Class A, B and C KENHA 22% Constituency Roads KERRA 10% Critical links – rural roads KERRA 15% Urban Roads KURA 1% National parks/reserves Kenya Wildlife Service 2% Administration Kenya Roads Board 10% Roads under Road Sector Investment Programme KRB/Minister for Roads KENYA ROADS BOARD FOREWORD This Annual Public Roads Programme (APRP) for the Financial Year (FY) 2011/2012 continues to reflect the modest economic growth in the country and consequently minimal growth in KRBF. The Government developed and adopted Vision 2030 which identifies infrastructure as a key enabler for achievement of its objective of making Kenya a middle income country by 2030. The APRP seeks to meet the objectives of Vision 2030 through prudent fund management and provision of an optimal improvement of the road network conditions using timely and technically sound intervention programmes.

Forward- thinking urban regions are beginning to DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND realize that the effects of climate change are going to be felt, at least to some extent, no According the United Nations, in 2014, 54 per cent of the world’s matter what actions we take now. The population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase future, if we plan to be there, must be to 66 per cent by 2050. This growth is the result of major economic and sustainable. One of the most innovative social transformations. Coupled with extreme weather events and trends in the industry is the sponge city prolonged drought periods, water supply and provision especially in concept. As the growth of urban population urban areas becomes more challenging. While natural resources are taking place at an exceptionally rapid rate, depleting, the pressure on these very resources increase. The problem the city is unable to cope with changing we intend to solve therefore is insufficient urban water provision, situations due to their internal resource stormwater and flooding and low quality of water. Cities are struggling constraints and management limitations. In to accommodate rapid urban migration and development is encroaching recent years Nairobi city, Nakuru, Naivasha, on flood-prone areas Kitui and Kajiado towns have been facing extensive water logging during the October Urban green spaces are expected to play a key role in sponge city to December rains as a common and regular design and construction.
