The road, which links the village to Timau town, was blocked by people who claimed it was going through their farms. Yesterday, Timau Ward MCA George Kimathi said a county government road grader had ceased murraming the road because one section was blocked. David Kirimi, the chairman of the local dairy society, said they could not take their produce to the collection centres as a result of the closed road.
