The residents of Suna East Constituency in Migori County have taken to the streets to protest the deplorable state of the roads in their area.
Led by community leader Denis Ouma, the demonstrators gathered on one of the worst-affected roads, the Migori-Ngege-Uyoma route, to voice their concerns.
The protestors emphasized that the poor condition of the roads, including the Mabera-Got Jope road, has been a longstanding issue that severely impacted their daily lives and economic activities.
“We are having trouble making ends meet since we can hardly drive on these roads. We need proper roads to continue our work without constant automobile breakdowns and delays,” Ouma said.
Caroline Awuor, a resident of Ngege, highlighted how the inaccessible roads have made it difficult for women to transport their produce to markets and access healthcare facilities.
“Every day, our children arrive in school late due to these impassable roads. Even old people have trouble getting around,” Awuor lamented.
The protesters reserved their harshest criticism for the area Member of Parliament, Junet Mohammed, accusing him of neglecting their urgent infrastructural needs while offering temporary relief in the form of food donations.
“We require roads, not rice and beans. Our MP constantly brings us relief food and Sh200, but that does not address the bigger issue. We require a long-term fix,” stated Eric Omondi, one of the protesters.
The residents took their demonstration to the Suna East Constituency Office, vowing to continue their protests until the necessary road repairs are undertaken.
They also warned that Mohammed risks being recalled as the area MP if he fails to ensure all promised projects are fulfilled.
