This development is coming at a time when it is reported that materials meant for the construction of the bridge were already handed over to a committee led by Wyton Singo.

One of the concerned people group village headman Takulanawo is complaining that the delay in constructing the bridge is sidelining his area as vehicles carrying materials for development cannot reach his area.

“It is alleged that materials meant for the construction of the bridge were already handed over long time ago a development which is raising more questions than answers as to why the bridge is failing to be completed,” he lamented.

He further said that he want those in authorities like the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to investigate the matter.
