    "content": "When you leave that route to Homa Bay through a place called Katito, you go to Homa Bay County and pass Sondu Miriu, then you try and get to Kisii. Alternatively, when you are in Kisii and want to come to Migori, there is the road that comes to the South Nyanza part of it, where you leave Kisii and leave the Kisumu Road. There has been a blockade there for three years and that is the only route we use to go to Kisii. We use it for emergencies and quick access. No one give a damn about the inconveniency that is occasioned. When you come to Rongo, there is a part of Rongo that has never been constructed, just as you pass Kuja school for the deaf. It has been in bad state. When you go all the way to Migori, constructions have been going on for the last three years. These contractors and the authorities responsible for them under the Ministry of Roads must know that people want immediate value for money. We cannot be in the state for construction of emergency forever. Lastly, most of our people suffer from Asthma, and dust related diseases. There is nothing that authorities, including National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) and those responsible for roads, are doing to ensure that dust and such sufferings are not visited on our people. Here in Nairobi around Karen, the Ngong Road that goes to Karen Shopping Centre which has been under construction for many years has total disregard of the dust that affects everybody. It is important for the responsible authority both NEMA and the roads authority to ensure timely completion of those roads, or they give the Committee information as to when they will ensure that contractual time is adhered to. They should also ensure that those undertaking construction do not become a nuisance or problem when it comes to dust and other environmental concerns."
