Several Residents Expressed their concerns with some pointing to facts that Roads weren’t constructed and it could affect the road during the rainy season, others were of the view that a Bridge was damaged by Machines being used for the project and has to be repaired. Lastly the community members added that the road contract should extend to their health facility and other nearby communities on the Eggu-Charia Stretch of Road.
