A controversial bridge pitting Bobasi Constituency resident in Kisii County and their area MP Innocent Obiri leading to perennial demonstrations over its dilapidated state, has finally turned to a blessing after construction works were completed few weeks ago.
Residents in the area have now applauded the collaboration between their area MP and the government agency, Kenya Rural Roads Agency, for finally allocating funds and constructing the River Nyamache Bridge that now eases movement between the government offices where they seek services, the local health centre, the church and the local shopping centre among others.
The bridge, located at Nyamache shopping center on the Kisii- Igare- Nyamache Road was previously washed away by torrential floods triggering persistent demonstrations over its pathetic state and delays in reconstruction.
Speaking at Nyamache town Sunday, the residents said completion of the bridge had eased movement between the government offices, including the police station, Deputy County Commissioner's office and the schools on one side, and the Kenya medical Training College, the shopping centre and neighbouring locations on the other.
