A section of Tala residents have today expressed their joy to their area their area Mp Stephen Mule and Machakos County Governor Alfred Mutua for the renovation of different roads within the region.
Although there has been talk in the country that the roads that were constructed in a record may be substandard, the residents are happy that the road is at least tarmacked. This they say is a promise they had heard for long from previous regimes without having it fulfilled.
Residents also say due to the renovation, Matatu operators have introduced new vehicles along the road. It is partly because of this they will hear nothing about the talk of the road being substandard.
In addition to the road construction project, the county government of Machakos under the leadership of Dr Alfred Mutua launched several impressive and notable projects that have been well received by residents.
''My Bodaboda does not break most of the times like before now. I am really grateful to our leaders. They have done a good job,'' said one of the residents.
Other residents said since the renovation of these roads transport costs have gone down and that they have added modernity in their lives.
