Road construction in Changamwe is causing a traffic menace

Road construction in Mombasa, Changamwe area has been a blessing, as it is meant to ease traffic congestion. As one passes by there, you find large cranes and construction workers working and a Chinese looking fellow directing them but the jam that is caused raises a lot of frustrations.

Areas affected directly and indirectly are Migadini, Magongo, Portreitz, Mikindani, Jomvu and Miritini. In these areas, transport would cost 40ksh to 50ksh but now it costs 80ksh to 100ksh. Most people in these areas are low income earners and this eats up a large chunk of their earnings.
