Kuria West: Traders unable to reach amenities, villagers lament absence of bridge as children

Residents of Segei South and Kurutiange in Kuria West sub-county have expressed frustration over the poor state of infrastructure in their area, accusing the government of neglect.

They complained about the lack of a bridge, which has severed the connection between the two areas as the Migori River continues to cause disruption. Locals reported that children are unable to attend school, residents struggle to access hospitals, and traders face challenges reaching their businesses.

Bena Mogesi, a parent from Segei South whose children must cross the river daily to reach school, highlighted the inconsistency in attendance, noting that she avoids sending her children during the rainy season for fear of drowning.

“Many of us didn’t have the chance to pursue higher education, but we want our children to go as far as possible. However, the Migori River poses a significant danger. It has hippos and crocodiles, and many people have lost their lives,” she said.

Villagers criticized the county government for failing to build infrastructure to connect Segei South and Kurutiange, and called on the national government to step in. They also raised concerns about increased criminal activity, with thugs crossing the river after committing crimes in one village.

Mwita Gibayi, the chairman of Segei North village, had previously expressed concern over the frequent drownings in the area. He condemned politicians for using the bridge project as a campaign promise but abandoning it after elections.

Kurutiange, with over 250 households, relies on South Segei’s maize and sugarcane farms, while South Segei, with approximately 180 households, depends on Kurutiange for schools, hospitals, and shops.
