The lawmaker said he will not disappoint motorists and residents using the bridge.

“My constituents request asking me to repair the bridge has been granted. Repair works will start by Thursday this week so that motorists and residents will not have difficulties when crossing over the bridge,” he said. 

Oyioka urged residents and motorists to keep off using the bridge until repair works are complete. 

“Motorists and residents who have been using the Suneka – Riana route via the bridge which is now impassable should use alternative routes to reach to their destinations as engineers repair the bridge to normalize the situation,” added the MP.

He faulted former area MP John Opore for failing to construct a modern and strong bridge to ease transportation. 

“It is shameful that Opore could not afford to construct a strong bridge which he could use to access to his Riana home.

 “Opore has been using the bridge to connect to his Riana home but he could not afford to construct a strong bridge. Opore was only interested in misuse and misappropriating public funds for his personal gains,” he noted. He warned residents against supporting Opore in 2022.

“Opore has served for 15 years as Bonchari MP, what can he tell people he did during his 15 years of leadership? In fact what he achieved is hiring goons to terrorize those who were not in his failed camp,” added Oyioka.

 Oyioka was speaking on Tuesday at Riana shopping centre.
