The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
There is a deliberate scheme by the National Government, midwifed by the Attorney General and nursed by the National Assembly, to frustrate transfer of the roads function to county governments. The Transition Authority is a silent participant.
According to the Constitution, the roads function is a shared responsibility. The national government is responsible for construction and maintenance of national trunk roads. County governments are responsible for county roads. While this sounds very straightforward, the Constitution does not explicitly define what a national trunk road is as opposed to a county road. It is unfortunate that those who are part of this conspiracy are expected to defend and protect the Constitution and the rights of all Kenyans.
