on the 6.5 kilometres stretch that goes through Karung’e village, saying the
project should be redone.
Irate residents
planted bananas along the stretch to display their anger on the rehabilitation
of the feeder road connecting villagers with Kangema- Kiria ini road and Gitugi
market.
Led by Kamau Ngirigacha,
the residents said materials used on the stretch are of low quality thus
compromising the standard of the project.
“As the residents
served by the road feel betrayed as issues raised on the quality of the project, on the contractor using sub-standard murram have been ignored,” said Kamau.
They dug a trench and planted bananas to block trucks from transporting substandard road
construction materials in their area.
