“We need a good road; if they can extend our road we will be happy.
“Our budget, everything about our vehicle in gallops, carrying of passengers entails so much and it is affecting us negatively.
“So far, as our road is bad, we spend on mechanics, if you repair a vehicle problem today, it is going to be the same thing next day, especially the bolt-joint, because the road is bad.
“We need a good road in Bwari; we appeal to the council authority to take necessary steps to address the problem.”
He blamed bad road network in Mpape for the conditions of the vehicles plying the roads, saying the costs of their maintenance were unduly high.(NAN)
