Hundreds of angry residents and drivers from Ntima West ward in Imenti North constituency of the Meru County demonstrated over the pathetic conditions of the roads in the area claiming foodstuffs worthy millions of shillings risk going to waste.
The protesters said some roads in the area are completely impassable even to pedestrians because they have large trenches and overgrown bushes in them.
They said it is now impossible to transport their farm produce to the market despite the area being very productive thus occasioning them huge losses.
They also regretted that it is very hard to rush the sick to the hospital especially the pregnant mothers and emergency cases due to the pathetic conditions of the roads in the area.
