Residents of Mutirithia Village in Molo took the initiative to repair their road after efforts to reach their member of Parliament or member of the County Assembly bore no fruits.
The residents had earlier lamented that the road was left unrepaired for a long time. They blamed their member of county assembly as well as member of Parliament, Kimani Kuria, for failing to help them in their plight.
To address the issue, the residents crowdsourced funds and bought stones to repair the road.
“The road has not been repaired for long. It is very bumpy and even our clients complain of back pain,” Jacob Ochieng, who is a boda boda operator, explained.
“We are now trying to repair the road on our own,” he asserted calling out their MP for negligence.
The residents lamented that since they elected Kimani, they have not seen him. They also questioned his absence yet he was elected to serve his people.
They further argued that the road they were repairing was important because it serves as an alternative to Mau Summit which suffers from heavy traffic.
“I wonder why our leaders don’t value this road,” one resident wondered noting that it poses a healthcare threat to school-going children..
According to Michael Mutito, a resident, their MP has done little to help them despite promising to better their lives
They noted that some leaders can only be found in pubs. “If you have an issue the only place you can see some of our leaders are in entertainment joints,” Mutito added.
The residents observed their roads are in deplorable conditions and are calling out their leaders to wake up and do something.
