The killer Agolo Muok bridge
Dear Sir,
Nyatike Sub county is still stuck in the stone age. While the Migori County Government has endeavored to open up the deep corners of the constituency, the main roads remain terrible.
Early this year, everyone recalls the accident where floods swept a bus at Agolomuok bridge killing about 5 passengers.
Apart from offering juicy news to our excitable media houses, nothing so far has been done to correct the situation at the Agolomuok bridge. The bridge reflects the situation on many bridges on Nyatike roads. Most of them are worse.
Late last year, about five children were swept away as they tried to cross a culvert at Osani Ndiwa road.
Nothing has so far been done to improve this. I recently dropped on this platform a photo of a bridge at Opija river just next to Jangoe shopping Centre, which is equally a killer site.
I was happy to get confirmation from Hon Thomas Odera, the Kanyasa MCA that by May it will be prioritized. Thanks jatelo.
Ondoche bridge located along Bande-Ochuna road is another perennial killer every time it rains. It sweeps probox cars and boda boda operators.
The entire Kaler ward gets locked out until the rains subsides. This bridge has been here for decades, killing people year in year out. Nobody has bothered to ask the central government to rework it.
Connecting to Ratieny from Bande would be easier if the Ratieny bridge, (the one with stones here attached photo) would be working. The person who was contracted to do this road needs to be jailed.
How do you get paid to do such a dubious work? Now Anyone going to Muhuru from Bande must go through Othoch Rakuom simply because someone got a fat kickback from the contractor who did the Ratieny bridge.
Call it wasted resource!
So many roads in Nyatike are worse than these. This is one of the reasons we have made a complete resolve to fight tooth and nail until we usher in a new and honest leadership come 2017.
As the Redemptive Team we believe Nyatike deserves better infrastructure in this age. Our people must not be confined to stone age lifestyles in the this information age. And on this resolve, nothing will stop us.
GOD BLESS NYATIKE.
