Motorists and residents have asked area MP John Oyioka to move with speed and repair the bridge to ease transportation. 

"Our MP should move with speed to ensure the that the bridge is repaired to ease transportation along Suneka - Riana and curb unnecessary deaths because children may drown in the flooding waters," said Dan Nyandoro.

They accused former MP John Opore for diverting funds meant to construct a modern bridge during his 15 years of leadership. 

"Opore is to blame for this collapsed bridge because he embezzled funds during his tenure that was meant to construct a strong and modern bridge," said Gilbert Mokaya. 

He appealed to the current MP not to divert funds but instead use public funds appropriately to complete development projects.

"Projects such as bridges in Bonchari should be finished using CDF funds but that will only be achieved if Oyioka will use the development funds appropriately," added Mokaya.
