Residents of Ngeria and Megun Wards in Uasin Gishu County have expressed their appreciation for the completion of several crucial road projects in their areas, which have greatly improved infrastructure and contributed to the socioeconomic development of the region.
Among the key completed projects that have garnered praise from the locals is the Tankit-Belekenya road in Megun Ward, a vital link that has eased transportation and access for the residents.
Led by Solomon Bwambok, a resident of Chemarot in Ngeria Ward, the community applauded the county government for fulfilling the promises made by Governor Jonathan Bii during his visit to the area. Bwambok noted that the improvements to the roads, along with the construction of box culverts, have significantly enhanced the mobility and quality of life in the area.
“Governor Bii had visited our area sometime ago and pledged to improve our roads and construct box culverts. We are grateful and happy to report that all those promises are being fulfilled,” Bwambok said. “These developments are not just improving the infrastructure, but they are also boosting the local economy and making it easier for us to access important services.”
The county government, through the Department of Roads, Transport, and Public Works, is currently undertaking several critical infrastructure projects in the region. Notably, the construction of the Chemarot Box Culvert, which links Kaptien and Chemarot villages in Ngeria Ward, is expected to alleviate flooding and improve accessibility, especially during the rainy season. Additionally, the opening of the Lamaiywet-Squatter road is also set to ease access to vital community facilities.
Residents have long struggled to reach essential services, particularly during the rainy season, as some roads become impassable due to flooding. Roads such as the one leading to Lamaiywet Dispensary and Kamuse Primary School have posed a challenge for locals, as water frequently blocks parts of the road, making it difficult for both residents and emergency services to navigate.
“The new infrastructure developments are a relief to us. Accessing places like Lamaiywet Dispensary and Kamuse Primary School has been a nightmare during the rainy season,” said one of the local residents. “Now, with these new roads and culverts, we are confident that our access to these essential services will be much easier.”
The county government’s efforts in improving road networks and drainage systems are seen as a vital step toward promoting both local development and the well-being of residents. The ongoing projects are expected to significantly impact the region by enhancing accessibility, fostering economic activities, and reducing the challenges residents have faced for years.
As the inspection of new projects continues, the residents of Ngeria and Megun Wards remain hopeful that more infrastructure improvements will follow, helping them better connect with the rest of Uasin Gishu County and beyond.
