Voi - Taveta Road on today's Cutting Edge
OUR SHAME. There was excitement when Prime Minister Raila Odinga officially opened the new Immigration offices on the Kenya-Tanzania border at Taveta/Holili in April, and Martin Mutua had hoped that the next step would be to make this new public investment easily accessible. However, he moans, the road from Voi to the border post is a murram stretch that is in an appalling state. He adds: “What really shames our country is that immediately after crossing the border into Tanzania, there is a fine tarmac road, which Mr Odinga used to reach the place.”

The local legislators have failed to pressure the government to act.What a shame!
ReplyDeleteIts pathetic and worrying to note that the rich and mighty don't use the road!! Fly to KIA then enter the county via TZ.
ReplyDeleteUntil when are the people in the wider Boarder area benefiting from the road network?
I am not suprised...npthing ever works in Taita Taveta...infact the very leaders are the ons who lead us in to the ditch!

This is just hearsay for me, AM GOING THERE IN DECEMBER TO WITNESS TO THESE CLAIMS.........the thomas in me.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! Even the PM of Republic of Kenya travels via another country to open the border office and you tell me that something's not wrong?? Where are the local leaders? Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves- The road should be priority no.1 for the whole region since the rail is now unreliable if not defunct. The problem is we talk too much and do less. Ndio maana wengine wanasema WaTaita wanangoja kuitwa.
ReplyDeleteIn October 2011, Roads Assistant Minister, Lee Kinyanjui assured Parliament April 2011 would see the start of tarmarking the Voi-Taveta Road. Has this work started? If not, where is the follow-up from the County MPs?
ReplyDeleteIncidently, Mr Kinyanjui was not answering a question from a Taita-Taveta MP, but one asked by Bahari MP, Hon Gunda. Wetu wangojea kuitwa mbinguni!
