Introduction
The county government has identified the need to improve
accessibility in villages through the rehabilitation of major access roads. In
line with this, they have set a goal of repairing at least one major road per
ward, and are working closely with county assembly members to achieve this.
This is a significant initiative that will improve the livelihoods of county
residents and drive economic growth in the region.
Recently, the Governor oversaw the awarding of contract letters to 36 contractors for the construction of the first batch of ward-based road projects in all wards. This demonstrates the government's commitment to improving road infrastructure across the entire county, and is a commendable effort to address the needs of residents.
Economic Benefit
The ward-based road rehabilitation
projects will provide employment opportunities for the contractors and workers
involved in the construction and maintenance of the roads, which will stimulate
the local economy. Further, improved road infrastructure will also enhance
trade and commerce, as it will facilitate easier transportation of goods and
services, leading to increased business activity and potential economic growth.
Citizen Benefit
The ward-based programs will improve
accessibility and connectivity for the residents of Homa Bay county, particularly
those in rural areas who have previously been cut off due to poor road
conditions. This will lead to improved access to services such as healthcare
and education, as well as easier transportation for the citizens, thereby
enhancing their quality of life.
