Mirema, Roysambu residents complain over rats, cockroach infestation

Residents of Mirema, Roysambu and areas around USIU area are not a very happy lot.

According to the residents, the area is slowly becoming uninhabitable due to spillage of sewage, potholes choking with stagnant rainwater and the never-ending drainage problems.

This has turned the hitherto ‘posh’ estate into a breeding ground for ants, bees, stubborn flies, snakes, rats, cockroaches, and spiders.

Businesses in the area say rats and insects have become a menace – destroying their stock and making the area generally difficult to live in and do business.

The near perennial cases of power blackouts and bad roads have made life difficult for the residents – especially those operating without backup generators.

Landlords and tenants in the area want all these problems fixed.

“This used to be a good neighbourhood, but not anymore. You can see the cabros peeling from the round, and many of them have not been fixed properly,” said Lilian Wafula, a resident of the area.

Adding that: “This needs some fumigation to get rid of flies, snakes, rats and cockroaches, and let them open up these drainage lines to make this place habitable and ensure there are no cases of disease outbreak in the area.”

Mirasi Ochieng also had this to say, “The power blackouts have become unbearable and it’s hard to work or do anything properly here.”

Residents told Wananchi Reporting that there have also been some cases of insecurity – with many asking that bushes be cleared, and huge trees pruned to clear up and open certain roads and paths.

The residents want additional effort made to fix parts of the drainage and prune giant trees that often interfere with power lines and transformers in the area – leading to blackouts.
