Residents from Nyeri and Tetu constituencies on Friday held a demonstration demanding the construction of a bridge that was swept by rains two years ago. The demonstrators from Muruguru, Gichira and Mung’aria areas called on the county and national governments to construct the bridge as soon as possible, giving them 14 days, failure to which they will demonstrate to their offices. The Kagumo river bridge connects the two constituencies. Wandimi said the sweeping of the bridge paralysed the movement of people who use the Muruguru – Gakoe – Gichira road. Gatitu-Muruguru MCA Muturi Muthee admitted that the government has delayed in doing the bridge and pledged to lobby for its construction.
