Residents of Kalamba in Makueni county have threatened to stop rehabilitation of Kyamela bridge demanding the bill of quantities and formation of a public management committee to supervise the work. The bridge that connects Emali and Wote town, the county headquarters, through Emali-Ukia road was swept away by floods last October. Fearing the rains will come before it is rebuilt, the residents had mobilised resources to repair the bridge on their own after the national government dragged its feet. He said without clear information on the scope of work, who had given the contract and a public management committee to supervise, rehabilitation of the bridge could be poorly done. Speaking to the Star on Sunday, Maanzo said there was some money set aside for rehabilitation of the bridge through Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA).
