Farmers in Magoye constituency have cried foul over the bridge which is at the verge of collapsing.
Dumba Settlement Farmer Association representative Ackson Mainga said the bridge is
on the verge of collapsing due to heavy rains experienced in the area.
He disclosed that more than 1,000 farmers will be affected if the bridge is not
attended to on time.
Mr. Mainga said the bridge which is on Magoye-Chivuna road is a busy road Which needed urgent attention by government.
He has since appealed to government to repair the Magoye bridge.
And farmers talked to by ZANIS said they are looking for a donor or non governmental
organization willing to work with the local community to work on the bridge.
They said if the bridge is not be repaired, it will be difficulty to transport
their farming produce to Food Reserve Agency (FRA) sheds.
Pity how basic infrastructure can be lacking everywhere in this country.
Routine checks and maintainance by the Ministry of works and supply should work up and do thier work. Farming is the life line of the people and bridges acts as the link to the market for rural or peasant farmers.
We dont need donors even to fix such things beacuse the govt department resposible should have a list of every raod and bridge. Where did the money they recovered from the plunders go? Use to for national development. How do you want us to tell you what to do with money? Collecting and seazing property from the plunders should be felt by all the people not give money to another plunderer. Then there is no point to arresting the plunders.OH BE WISE WHAT MORE CAN I SAY!!
