Two women who have been repairing potholes at Karunga in Elburgon Town, Nakuru County, now want Deputy President William Ruto and President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene.
Speaking to the press, one of the women noted that they had been repairing potholes on the stretch for two years.
The two have asked the politicians to step in and offer them paying job after working for free for two long years.
"We are hear making the road to help travellers because the road has been in a bad state. We were waiting for the road to be repaired in vain.
"It is our hope that the contractor will employ us since we have been fixing the road for a long time," One of the women narrated.
"We are asking for help from Ruto and Uhuru. We have been waiting for them, hoping that they will one day pass by the road and help us get a paying job," they said.
The two also noted that they have faced challenges in their line of work including being assaulted.
"We have ever been beaten up while working along this road," they said.
They, however, noted that some of the road users often complimented their work.
President Uhuru's government has seen an increase in road infrastructure. However, the Presidency has often found itself under fire amid claims that their scorecard was poor, with some 1,356 projects valued at Ksh4.9 trillion still incomplete.
63% of the projects valued at Ksh3.1 trillion were expected to be completed before his term came to a close.
