[Kevin Tunoi, Standard]Infighting between counties and national government over who is supposed to maintain certain roads has led to the deterioration of more roads in rural towns. Although the road classification done in 2014 was meant to cure this, most counties are still uncertain over which roads they are supposed to maintain. Apart from Nairobi, the three other counties inspected by KRB show roads with potholes, including one next to Bomet governor’s office. At the heart of the conflict is maintenance of roads in urban centres within the counties. KRB however insists it is the role of counties to maintain all the roads in their urban centres.
