Reports Leo Odera Omolo.
Residents of Homa-Bay, Suba and Mbita districts have expressed grave concerned at the slow pace with which the construction work on the Homa-Bay Mbita road.
The construction work on the 44 kilometers road was commissioned by the Prime Minister Raila Odinga three years ago, and as expected to be completed within the next three years.
This road, which is linking Homa-Bay town to the several fish landing beaches in Gwasssi Kakisingiri, and in the twin-fishing islands of Mfangano and Rusinga, is economically so important to the region, especially o the fishermen and fish traders who can use it to access market outlets in the hinterland.
This road is also the main link between the mainland Homa-Bay and Ruma National Game Park in the Lambwe Valley, and also to numerous pre-historic sites in Suba region. Only about 30 kilometers has been completed. Many heavy earth moving machineries e seen just parked idly by the roadside. The workers who were found idling themselves by the construction sides said the construction is slow due the Treasury taking a lot of time before disbursing the project fundst to the contractors.
The resident have appealed to the two MP-elect from the Suba region to take up the matter with the relevant Ministry of Roads and other authorities with the view to ensure the work is moving on at speed and much faster.
The two MP included Millie Odhiambo [Mbita} and Jon Mbadi {Suba]. The portion linking Mbita town, Luanda, Waondo,and Kamata Roads are half-way completed. The work between Kodiera and Kodoyo junction are moving at very slow pace. It has sine ma the half-way completed areas became risk for the motorists
