By The Mountain Journal Reporter in Karatina
Residents in Mathira East have raised concerns over the poor state of Karatina-Kagochi road, which is impassable.
The pot-holed roads are a shadow of its former self with the locals explaining how Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua has failed to lobby to have the road recarpeted.
Peter Mwai blames the MP over failure to lobby for the rehabilitation of the roads for years, despite the locals complaining.
The locals say transport of goods along the route is expensive with some preferring using the longer Karatina- Marwa- Chaka- Gitunduti route.
“ The route has caused damage to many of the public service transport as millions of shillings are spent in repairing the vehicles,” said Mwai.
Mwai told The Mountain Journal that the MP was busy lobbying for projects in Mathira West leaving them in despair.
“The MP has abandoned Magutu area due to political reasons, and the roads in Gathehu village are in the worst state,” he said.
