One of Council officials, Cleaverson Nyando said K4.5 billion from RFA is for upgrading 5.4 kilometers and rehabilitation of 4 km while 19.3 kilometers roads rehabilitation and upgrading will use funds received from government.<\/p>\n

Nyando said some projects have delayed due to unavailability of materials on the market and relocation of ESCOM poles along the roads. Among the roads to be upgraded are Penyenye in Area 38 via Mtsinje, rehabilitation of Mchesi \u2013 Area 23 market, Mtandire Airwing, Area 25 C- Dzenza, Area 49 Gulliver Road, Area 49 Shire road and Area 43.<\/p>\n
