Workers at the Chinese Railway Number 5 Company in Turkana on Monday halted construction of the Lodwar -Loichangamatak A1 road following an alleged assault on a road inspector. The workers said that four Chinese men attached to the company constructing Lodwar - Loichangamatak road on Friday attacked Chief Road Inspector Rodgers Imasia and injured him. Workers claimed that Imasia was attacked on claims that he did not approve the materials that were used on the road construction because they were of substandard quality. If it was a case where a casual worker had attacked the Chinese they would have reacted faster,” he said. “It’s the mandate of the road inspector to approve the materials to be used for construction.
