The recent rainy weather in the capital city has given a huge wake up call to citizens and commuters moving around doing their daily routines, with the issue of potholes becoming a recurring subject in many households.
The aftermath of the wet weather has left a sour taste in the mouths of some residents.
“The roads should be fixed, not just the highways, the authorities should be coming into streets to seeing the communities that have bad road work,” said Tauedea, a resident from 6mile.
Another concerned capital resident stated that apart from the pothole issue, work must be done to rectify drainage in the capital, adding that this contributes to the increase in the number of portholes in the city.
“They [NCDC] should try to work on the drainage system in the city.”
“Whenever there is rain, the city is always flooded and this contributes to the increase in portholes,” said Thompson another concerned citizen.
Furthermore, many citizens would like to see proper work done on the city roads, outlining that as the capital of the country, the roads and infrastructure must reflect this.
