The crucial sub-county connector road, that links the vast and marginalized areas of Mui with Mwingi town through Lundi-Miambani-Disese-Kathonzweni and Yoonywe in the coal-rich Mui Basin, will be completed in 4 months at least, engineers on site told MP PRESS

This road is set to give a fresh impetus to the local economy, while ensuring timely transportation of thousands of farmers agricultural produce to County markets, the maestro Wiper Mp told reporters at Lundi market after the launch.

"Everyone in Mwingi Central constituency can attest that almost all the major roads here remain in a dilapidated state after the April floods washed away over 60% of the road network infrastructure" said the firebrand lawmaker whose coal mining human rights defence has received Kitui MPs backing.
