The government released Sh28.7 billion just three months before the end of the fiscal year.
The Kenya Roads Board released the funds to the three road agencies and the county government roads.
The funds are collected from motorists through the Sh18 per-liter road maintenance levy and transit tolls.
Last year, the board collected Sh69 billion, but it said the funds were way below the budget needed to keep the roads in good shape.
The regulator estimates the country requires about Sh150 billion yearly to execute the road maintenance assignment.
As the heavy rains continue to damage existing roads, county governments will be expected to begin maintenance procedures in order to contain any delays caused by destroyed roads.
