Residents of Ilmotiok and Mulot wards in Narok West Sub County can breathe a sigh of relief after the County Government initiated the process of building a bridge along River Amalo to ease movement across the two wards.
The project construction was launched on Wednesday by Governor Patrick Ntutu, nine years after another bridge was swept away by the flooded river, leaving the residents to trek for longer kilometres to connect to the two wards. "The project addresses a longstanding need for improved connectivity for residents travelling between Mulot central, Oloomiran, Ilmotiok, Sogoo, and the Sagamian area," said the governor.
He added that the absence of the bridge had forced residents to take a longer route through the Mulot Sunset trading centre in Bomet County.
Ntutu observed that the challenge was caused by a previous contractor who abandoned the construction of the Mulot-Sogoo-Sagamian road, leaving the community without the critical infrastructure. "Today, we hand over this project to another contractor whom we expect to do a commendable job in the shortest time possible," he said.
