POOR ROAD NETWORK IN KWANIA: ROAD EQUIPMENT SCARCITY IMPACTS KWANIA DISTRICT’S ROAD MAINTENANCE

The scarcity of road equipment in Kwania district local government has significantly hindered the upkeep of motorable roads within the district. District Engineer Edward Odongo laments that they are left with no alternative but to allocate a portion of the funds earmarked for road maintenance to hire the necessary equipment from open market. The roads in Kwania district are in a deteriorated state, worsened by gaping potholes and destructive torrential rains. As a result, both cyclists and motorists struggle to navigate these roads, leading to widespread discontent among the public.
