The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and the County Government of Mombasa are at odds over the deplorable Links Road in Nyali, which becomes impassable during the rainy season.
The disagreement comes in the wake of a tragic incident where a woman lost her left eye after being struck by debris while travelling in a tuk-tuk that got stuck in a flooded section of the road near the Basic Mall.
The Authority has commenced routine maintenance on the road for Sh64 million to enhance mobility in the flood-prone area. "We want to address those issues so that we can have traffic and pedestrians moving smoothly without being affected by the water," KURA Coast region Deputy Director Endelinah Eustace stated during a stakeholders' consultation meeting.
