Visoi Ward MCA, Madam Hellen Mengek, is under intense criticism after her decision to dump construction sand at the busy Salgaa parking lot caused significant disruptions for the local community.
The once orderly parking area has been turned into a chaotic mess, leading to blocked access and considerable frustration among drivers and business owners.
The disruption has severely impacted their daily operations.
Local resident Edwin Cheruiyot voiced the widespread outrage, saying, “The MCA must take immediate corrective measures to restore trust and honor her commitments to Visoi Ward.”
Photos and videos shared with thevoice.co.ke depict the extent of the mess and the negative effects on local businesses and residents.
The frustration is compounded by an unmet promise made by the MCA’s personal assistant during a funeral in Burgei.
The assistant had assured that a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution would be built in the area.
“We urge our MCA to fulfill her campaign promises, including the construction of the TVET college to boost education in the area,” said a local resident.
The community feels that the MCA’s recent actions contradict her earlier commitments, leading many to question her grasp of her responsibilities to the community.
