Governor
Gladys Wanga responded to widespread photos of crumbling roads like the
Mbita–Sindo–Kiabuya–Sori corridor by tracing the issues to pre-devolution
neglect across national governments since independence.
She detailed progress under the current
administration, including tarmacking 28 km recently, ongoing upgrades on
multiple routes, and projects like the Homa Bay Pier and fish market.
Critics question the use of county's KSh 85–94 billion allocations over recent years, while supporters highlight national efforts to address long-standing regional imbalances amid calls for accountability.
