In partnership with G & W mining company the council managed to open 15 km of new roads at Rushinga
Rural Service Centre. The opening of the roads was of great importance to the residence as it gave them
access to their homes. The council was responsible for fueling the grader and paying of salaries of the
operator.
After having completed the opening up of roads in the service centre, the machine was also used to stock
pile 10 000m? which shall be used for the purpose of gravelling of these roads.
The Council fully appreciates the donation of a motorized grader as this has capacitated the local
authority. This facility had an immediate impact in road maintenance in the distrtct.The is also grateful to
the training which was extended to its grader operators.
A total of 117km was graded even though some of the roads are to be re-done being the likes of Rushinga
RSC which was poorly done
