OPINION/ INFRUSTRUCTURE

Hits, Misses and Flops of our Beautiful County; Kirinyaga County.

By Annie Njanja

cross the world, infrastructure is  key to economic growth, no wonder  vision 2030 is no child’s play. However , desperate we are to transform Kenyan Economy to a middle class Economy by 2015/2030 ultimatums, the zeal poses forlorn hopes if we don’t pay dire attention to the transport sector, construction of roads, and other  paraphernalia. we have the Chinese around constructing the Nairobi Thika  super highway one of the biggest projects the government has ever  funded since independence. Though the construction of the highway is in its last foot, it stands to all reasons that it has already brought about myriads of business opportunities. That said, I appreciate what our leaders in the government are doing to make our roads passable. Since the rural electrification program and Economic stimulus program, Development is no longer focused on urban centers  alone.

Rather, there have been notable developments eminent in the rural areas as well.
Something raises my eyebrows glowingly though, why are some of our  legislators, ignorant of these wonderful opportunities, Are they not keen to debate for consideration of certain dilapidated roads in our county.

I can bet for my life,  residents of Kirinyaga County deserve better than what is already at stake, but I don’t understand why these leaders seem to have fallen short of voters expectations.

As much as we may want to blame the town council for poor roads, a times I feel that at the end of the day it all boils down to the person in charge, who in this case is the Member of Parliament.

And that is when I think; the buck stops with my Member of Parliament. I hope they are reading.
