Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 81245, member: 636"] An MP is sounding the alarm over roads wrecked by rain, stranding patients, and jacking up taxi fares. Mzimba Perekezi Constituency legislator Fikani Ulunji Nyirenda says heavy rainfall has severely damaged roads around Mzimba Boma, making travel to places like the district hospital difficult and expensive. He highlighted the strain on patients needing care and workers facing higher transport costs, as taxis take long detours and raise their prices. Nyirenda stated he is coordinating with the M'belwa District Council and local contractors for temporary fixes while pushing for a permanent solution. He also called out residents for trash dumping that clogs drains and makes the flooding worse, urging everyone to take responsibility. The broader issue points to the area's chronically poor drainage system, which turns every rainy season into a recurring disaster for the town's infrastructure. [/QUOTE]
