We have secured a project and the first phase of the project is what we are executing. It include Dohinaayili roads, Changli, and Gumbihini roads, and the second phase will continue on other major roads including some roads at Warizhehi, Tishigu, Lamakara, parts of Gumbihini again, and some part around Agric, and I am very convince that looking at the capacity of the contractor we are using, we will be able to complete the work in no time. So that is what we are expecting, and we are doing these for everybody”, he said.
Comrade Mutala indicated that the construction of the inner and other major roads within his constituency would ensure a free movement of commuters and reduce traffic on the dual carriageway.
