@Wavinya_Ndeti@hon_Makau please pay attention to Katani-Syokimau. This is the status of the road right now.🙆🏾♂️ Small-small rain like this again and we will rename this to Katani River or worse, the Syokimau Dam will burst and have ourselves a health hazard!
#FixQuarryKataniRoad
@C_NyaKundiH Mkuu that road is pathetic,those Tata lorries that carry kokoto from those areas with the sewer that spills on the road have worsened the situation, right from the Quarry road junction all the way to Katani Shopping Centre is in dire condition @KeNHAKenya what a shoddy job?
@C_NyaKundiH This road is one hell of road, every day there must be more than two lorries broken down due to state of the road from mlolongo to quarries, the truck drivers are facing hard times even affecting trips.
Residents Desperate for Help As High-Ranking Gov't Officials Linked to Poor State of Katani-Syokimau Road
Hi Nyakundi.
Katani Quarry roads situated in Katani within Mavoko Constituency are barely five years old since being tarmacked.
The contractor, OGLE Constructions Capmany is associated with high-ranking government officials.
Unfortunately, during construction the road suffered from poor workmanship and drainage issues.
Despite being a crucial route supplying raw materials to the construction industry, the road lacks a maintenance contract.
Each lorry using this route pays Ksh. 3,000 per trip, making it a significant financial artery for the Machakos County government.
But the Ngelani area, which is the source of raw materials for the Nairobi Expressway construction lacks even a centimeter of tarmacked road.
In the past, residents have had to contribute money, time and manpower to unclog drainage and make some patches of the road motorable.
As residents we urgently request both levels of government to intervene in the rehabilitation of this road by KURA.
Here's a link to supporting documents.

This is a tweet from KURA in 2018 discussing this road.

We demand accountability and action from the necessary national and local governments.
With schools reopening soon, the situation will be a nightmare for children unable to travel safely to school.
Our primary concerns are the poor state of the road and the sewage system for surface runoff water (drainage).
Secondary to this are street lights.
Prioritize fixing the road first before addressing sewage/drainage infrastructure.
We require accountability and intervention from the following:
Governor: Wavinya Ndeti
MP: Peter Makau
MCA: Dominic Maitha
CEC: Rita Ndunge (Kana Rita - Machakos County Executive Committee Member (CECM) - Roads, Transport, and Public Works)
The road is barely 6 years old, the contractor did a very shady job, the quarries are to blame and to make the matters worse they don't do any CSR in this area #FixQuarryKataniRoad
