A Civil Society group in Kisumu has faulted the county government for poorly rehabilitated access roads that has consumed millions of shillings. The Institute for Civic Education and Development in Africa Coordinator George Owuor said the roads recently done are in pathetic conditions.
Owuor says the quality of the roads is wanting and asked the County Executive Member of Roads Eng. Vincent Kodera to give a status report of the access roads which have been done. He said residents are paying taxes and must be provided with quality and standard work which is equivalent to their money but not doing shoddy work for the purpose of being paid.

He says the tendering process that led to the award of contracts for the rehabilitation of the access roads must be evaluated to ensure qualified contractors were picked.
Speaking in Kisumu during a County Forum to evaluate the status of the work within the county, Owuor said the locals must know the kind of monitoring and evaluation the county is carrying out to ensure funds are well utilized.
He further alleged that the youth and women have been locked out in the tendering process to carry out certain works in the County as stipulated in the Constitution.
Owuor called upon the Kisumu County Governor Jack N. Ranguma to unveil to the county residents a status report of Human Resource and Infrastructural Development.
