Residents of Tombe-Kemera area in Kitutu Masaba will have to wait a little longer before the ongoing road construction is fully completed, a contractor has said.
Speaking at Tombe market on Wednesday during a consultative meeting with the locals, H-Young coordinator Shamji Patel said residents have to wait for some time due to ongoing rains that are received in the region.
He said the company may end up using a lot of resources if it persists with construction, thus the decision to halt the process till rains reduce.
This comes few weeks after residents accused area MP Timothy Bosire of allegedly not doing enough to compel the contractors to expedite the process.
“Please bear with us. The process has taken a little longer than expected obviously for understandable reasons. We have received complaints from area leadership over the same but I want to assure all that everything is under control,” he said.
“The basic reason behind this is the ongoing rain that makes it difficult for us to finish construction. It is quite difficult to use excavators during rainy seasons but we hope rains will reduce to make work easier for us,” he said.
He vindicated Bosire of scathing attacks by assuring residents that the MP has been in touch with the company besides promising that the company would take full responsibility if the road is further delayed without justified reasons.
