[Collins Oduor, Standard]Residents of Usoma and Nawa villages in Kisumu County breathed a sigh of relief after Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) agreed to open a road closed 11 years ago. The Kirembe-Nawa-Usoma road was closed after KAA erected barriers during the expansion of Kisumu International Airport. Last week, Transport Chief Administrative Secretary Chris Obure and Kisumu West MP Olago Aluoch led talks between the residents and KAA with the aim of opening the road. And with the original road closed by KAA and a runway constructed, residents of Usoma who wanted to access Kisumu town had to cover 15 kilometres through Usoma-Pipeline-Bandani road.
